Tip for non-Black people about anti-blackness on fedi 

Whenever you see a post by a Black person that you fave or boost, go ahead and look at the replies

You're bound to see some people being anti-black there, especially if the post was about racism

Then you can report (or ban) these people and you'll also start to see just how rampant anti-blackness is here, as people have been saying all along

Also ffs check that none of them are finding these posts *because of you*

Anti-Black harassers are finding all of these posts somehow and no it's not all from the federated tl

Chances are you're connected to some of them somehow and your boosts are helping these anti-Black people find more folks to harass

You have a responsibility to look at who follows you and who their connections are
