i'm not a true believer in any particular solution, but what i do see is a lot of people trying to grapple with the bofh syndrome.
this has been a problem since there have been systems, and i don't think being being your own operator will ever be a solution that everyone can practically engage in.
but governance can also suck.
equitable systems need to be accessible and be able to deal with bad actors. i wish i felt like i knew what the answers were, but after 6 years of open federation...

There once was a man
from Peru, whose limericks all
looked like Haiku. He
said with a laugh, "I
cut them in half! The pay is
much better for two!"

I have no idea how some of the stuff here works
Black Trans ppl exist and discourse on here would change, if white Trans and Queer ppl would remember that fact.
But Queer and Trans is framed as if it is on another side of Blackness. It's not. Thats why Black Queer and Trans folks on here are always silenced and erased, bc its often *Us* that are the leading the conversation about racism from the white queer folks on here.

One of their mods sent a harassing message with the n-word in it to a black person on this instance
Small #FediTip: if you encounter a message or thread that is in any way useful to you, bookmark it straight away.
Since the fediverse doesn't have full text searches, it will be very difficult to find that particular thing again a few days later. Especially if you cannot remember who posted it or it has no hashtags.
Periodically review your bookmarks to do something with them and you should be set.
I haven't done anything with all my pictures from the trip I just got back from other than put them on a hard drive but I did finish editing pics from the plane . . . . #photo
