packbat is a social construct

context re: antiblackness fediblock meta, harassment note 

Is this about Eris Disqordia apparently (we haven't gone to look) making threatening posts directed towards rage.love and weirder.earth? I mean, yeah, but it's bigger than that - I think the question of how you get to become a better person is really important, and there's a tremendous amount we Packbats only learned because we were respectful towards people we thought were wrong. We'd like folks to learn from the mistakes of others.

antiblackness fediblock meta, harassment note 

In retrospect, another reason we should mention why it's a bad idea to mock people who block you: harassment is a thing that happens, and publicly mocking their opponents is a thing harassers often do. And if I think you might harass me for saying anything, it makes me not want to say anything.

And, like I said, people mess up. We mess up. We want to be corrected when we do, and part of that is making it feel safe to tell us we're wrong.

Normally we would assume all of that was pretty evident, but a recent comment showed up in the fediblock tag (not from any of our followers or anyone on instance) from someone to whom all this really /wasn't/ all that evident - and, yeah, fair. Lucky ten thousand and all that.

So there it is. ubuntu.buzz blocked a bunch of instances for doing racism and the admins decided to bond over that. It's kinda depressing. But now you know why folks consider it worth fediblocking over.

Question to white trans people who maybe didn't react well to the first news of The Bad Space this meta cycle. 

If you're white and trans, and had an adverse reaction to the Bad Space at first, and then maybe backtracked it.
Did you do a public retraction?
Did you apologize for any misinformation you perpetuated?
Have you done anything to help your friends understand what's been going on?
To help deescalate?

Have you read the info about it being addressed? Did you boost it? 🤔

What did you do to help after you realized you were contributing to the harassment against the people working on The Bad Space ?

If you only silently deleted when you realized, I want you to ask yourself why.

(edit because I wanted it public, and because I mix up space and place in the name every time I write it)

Until white people are displaced as the predominant creators and drivers of digital social technology, social media will continue to fail to reliably create healthy community.

demanding someone's attention, no matter how good your intentions are, when they're literally overwhelmed, and then complaining that you got blocked for it, is kind of a dick move.
