@rustyniall @pearlbear racism shouldn’t exist, but the wording here seems to call for some sort of central mechanism to allow the “superstructure” to purge itself of racism
Mastodon draws on a legacy of conflict between open communities and corporate control, and thinking about decentralised infrastructure.
It’s not clear there’s a better way to purge racists in a decentralised way than what Mastodon implements, but I’d be interested if there was.
@daskeit @pearlbear I wasn't calling for a central mechanism, I was calling for people, especially white people, to be more thoughtful in how they respond to POC when they speak about racism here.
