@benroyce @mastodonmigration @bitsnpieces It's really the tip of the iceberg in how Fedi can be antisocial and highly discriminatory.
I spend most of the year in Portugal, and living there has made it glaringly obvious how even discussions about racism in the EU are decades behind the US. This is why none of Eugen's poor decision making around moderation, technical priorities, etc have really surprised me.
I'm hoping the move to a non profit foundation will aid in fixing these issues.
@mastodonmigration @bitsnpieces @benroyce I'd add that other ways marginalized people, especially people of color, get targeted is with coded language white people do not recognize by default, then dismissing those who are being targeted as overreacting.
There was also a push to put CW on every photo of, say, police interactions. For the comfort of a largely white audience.
There are a lot of ways to socially degrade a group, and the largely white and EU Mastodon hits many of them.
