To #BIPOC / #POC users of Mastodon (others can boost):

What do you make of CW culture and norms on here?

The people I see being most vocal about it are 99.99% White people which feels like a red flag

(edit: White people - you're welcome to read and boost, but please be mindful about replies as this is a discussion by and for BIPOC. This includes replies to other people's replies. Preferably just don't comment in this thread, I've gotten tired trying to moderate even well-meaning folk.)

that said, if you’re on the wrong end of a power dynamic, scolding specific people to add a CW to their experiences isn’t cool. the CW is there to protect people who are affected by a prejudice or a trigger; not to protect white people from knowing racism exists.

Trans Safety Network have an instance on fedi now - social.transsafety.network

I‘m choosing to mute them because constant updates on what the bigots are up to are bad for my mental health but that’s not a judgement on the valuable work they do
