Gregory's ServerI'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.
I am exceptionally proud of the work I have done in this first iteration of PV. It has shown me that independent social media is very possible. Masto is definitely not the tool needed to make this a reality, haha, but it was nice while it lasted.
The rampant hate on the fedi that I have experienced has only reinforced that I am not only on the right track but these bigots know what I'm trying to do and are doing everything to stop me.
Ha, but they can't. That's why they stay enraged.
