       I'm just going to say it. #Mastodon has a racism problem and we need to do something about it. I'm not going to #BlueSky no matter how much better the experience is for anyone right now because Bluesky is a honeypot trap run by crypto nuts who are notoriously white supremacist as a whole. I'm not going to #Threads or any #Meta product for similar reasons. I'm not going down the #XitterThis is it. This is my last social media spot and I'm getting tired.

       @philip_cardella "Mastodon" doesn't exist except in the sense its a federated set of instances. If what you want is centralised power to nuke people you don;t like or who are legitimate assholes then this isn't it and never will be. There is no "Mastodon" that can do what you want and the point of the Mastodon that exists, such as it is, is not to do that. Federation means policing yourself.#fediverse #mastodon

       @Black_Flag I do police myself. Now why is BlueSky safer for Black people? As I said, I'll never go to BlueSky. If we can't improve this I'm done with social media.

       @philip_cardella You said it was run by white supremacist crypto bros running a honeytrap. So is it really? Because they control everything. I don;t know. But I do know Mastodon is not about centralised control. Which means its about delegated control, primarily at the level of the instance admin and account user themselves. You can create a little walled garden if you wish and federate with nobody. But if you will interact with the public you will encounter assholes.So what would you change?
