Gregory's ServerThere's always a social cost whenever I talk about the blatant hypocrisy of white progressive on the fedi but that just proves my point of how aggressive this place polices Black folks.
For me, it's worth it because I reach a lot of people who see how aggressive this place is with it's anti-blackness and we connect privately.
And let's be clear. There are more Black folks on the fedi than you think.
They just don't want to reveal that they're Black b/c they see how much the fedi hates us.
My time in the fedi has exposed literally all of the flaws of social media so in that respect, I'm glad I came here. This is only the first iteration of PV and it was a wildly successful experiment of self run social media.
It also revealed just how deep white hatred of Black autonomous thought goes. It revealed how progress of social media is hindered by white people's inability to let Black folks be themselves.
White people are TERRIFIED of a social media experience that doesn't center them
