       Ok #toots ! I’ve started using #Metatext and have LOTS of questions already.1. What is the ‘messages’ tab? I thought #Mastodon didn’t have DMs? So far it’s an empty tab for me.2. What’s the little eye icon that I can see on the top right of toots?#MetatextTip

       I keep seeing black people getting harassed on here and (understandably!) complaining that the existing tools aren’t enough to address the problem, and white people responding by whitesplaining Mastodon and getting defensive. Come on! Why would you assume that black people who’ve been dealing with harassment their entire lives and have been hugely influential in other platforms don’t understand social networks or the internet or harassment?

       Following on from this: before you reply to someone explaining something, maybe check the replies? A lot of what I’m seeing is 20 people replying with the same (often quite basic) line about how federation is and how great it is. This isn’t helpful and can be frustrating. Checking existing replies takes a second!

       @shengokai I think you’re likely right, and it’s an issue. One question: doesn’t Mastodon offer different affordances that could in theory also be used to build community a different way? Or do the affordances required depend on the specific culture forming the community? (This question is obviously ignoring the important point that digital culture is also culture and different digital platforms and communities inherit from each other, obviously, I mean more generally)

       @Corfiot ... wow. Seriously? You're calling black people ungrateful? Also, yes, often when something is created by one group, other groups need to wiggle and push back so that it can be inclusive for them. What's wrong with that? Would you prefer for the fedi to just not be inclusive?
