Mastodon does not suggest and push racist propaganda in your face, you choose who you follow, and that's what you see.

Are nazis using both twitter and mastodon? Of course. They're also using public restrooms, voting in elections, and hailing cabs on your curb. Fascists suck and eliminating their terrible traits is an endless battle we fight.

But at least mastodon isn't run by a nazi suggesting you follow other nazis and creating company policies designed to erode communities that nazis don't like.

Hi Mekka 😀 Nice to meet you

Quote from Chanda Prescod-Weinstein:
"Tweeps are *more likely* to think for two seconds before they explain to a Black person something that the Black person has been thinking about for 40 years and they've been thinking about for 5 minutes."

She was talking about the phenomenon of white Mastodon users earnestly trying to explain to Black users why the Black users are wrong about their own lived experience, and why Twitter is definitely worse.

If you land on a good, well moderated instance, your experience is better than Twitter.

But if you land anywhere else, your experience is significantly worse than Twitter.

This is "instance roulette," and it sucks.

Most Fediverse instances don't block the most vile, racist instances on the Fediverse. So what happened to Chanda can happen to most Black women that try to join the Fediverse.

The Fediverse needs much better Blocklist and Moderation tools and services.
