Feedback welcome! Here's the TL;DR list

  1. Listen more to more Black people
  2. Post less – and think before you post
  3. Call in, call out, and/or report anti-Blackness when you see it
  4. Support Black people and Black-led instances and projects

Other suggestions?

In fact there’s even a bunch of anti-Blackness in this thread

Could you help me find the comments you are referring to? I can't seem to find them, and I'm worried it might be because I'm subconsciously anti-Blackness

If you can't find them, then (like many people) that's a sign you're used to an environment where anti-Blackness is normalized. So, imagine a Black person reading this thread who's been targeted by racism on the fediverse. What comments would they think are dismissive of Black people?

I did, and still can't find any. Please link. It's not like you are making stuff up.

Oh well. It sounds like you've got some work to do. The revised version of the article has some antiracism resources, so stay tuned.
