Gregory's ServerMy 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
I've found that this fear is at the core of most of the bitter squabbles I've had since I've been on the fedi. That specific rage and anger that is reserved for Black fediversians is based in the idea that we can exist and actually thrive without them.
That's why they fight common sense security and safety features. That's why they constantly demean, attack and harass our spaces.
They know we can do better but want us to give up b/c it exposes how incompetent they are.
