cis-het white guy here.
For the past... 5-8 years (starting on Xitter) I've tried to keep adding more Black and brown folx (esp women), trans peers, members of the LGBTQ+ communities to my timeline.
Setting aside what I may or may not have learned in the process, and more to the point of this post: I still don't see a lot of what this person describes, even though I 100% believe it's happening.
Thoughts on that (cont'd):
1/?
Thoughts on not seeing the #racism, #sexism (that I know is here) on the fediverse...
1. I am too distanced from it to even recognize it. I don't _think_ this is the case but I am not a reliable judge and can't possibly rule it out.
2. Either the mods on my instance or my Mastodon settings are hiding content that others are clearly seeing.
3-10. Causes I have not thought of yet.
I truly want to support any and all marginalized folx here. I'm not great at it but I am slowly learning.
If I'm going to be the support I want to be, I need to figure out how to keep getting out of my circle. #fediverse
