@Julie@social.coop Yeah, I think it would be a lot more helpful if white people would make sure that their instances had Black moderators, instead of telling Black people to make their own instances.
Like, if you want spaces to be welcoming to Black people, make sure that power is shared with Black people. If all the people running a space are white, you can't be surprised when you create a white space.

@sashafox@eightpoint.app @Julie@social.coop power has value, but at the same time, moderation is WORK. Why is it up to ANY member of ANY marginalized group to have to take on the work of making others like them welcome? Is it truly impossible for a group of whypipo to establish an antiracist space? Because that's profoundly depressing, if so.
