racism? on *my* fediverse?? 

I'm a white person who's been on the fedi for 4 years. I witnessed the rise and fall of PlayVicious.social (aka "PV"), an instance that was thoughtfully moderated by an all-BIPoC team. it was a nexus of brilliant, creative, funny people who made the fediverse a better place. and then it shut down, and so many Black and Brown people gave up on this place as a result. it was a huge, huge loss.

why did that happen, you ask? I'm gonna let Ro (former admin of PV) tell that story, because it's come up again recently: ubiqueros.com/notes/97vj3h30hp
I was a w.e mod when this went down. it's all true; he's not exaggerating.

I made a little video demonstrating a live performance in my algorithmic music software.

It's integrated in my game Ynglet, and all the buttons/knobs I can turn, the game can adjust too based on the gameplay.

NEW Investigation:
A Unicorn Riot investigation uncovered dossier records from a privately curated database of Romani people in the US, and a web of training programs; many of these have been canceled due to pressure from activists and concerned citizens. unicornriot.ninja/2022/police-

More people are nice at first, they give you the feeling to create something meaningful. But more people also mean more work, especially if it's not a community with already established community standards.

So to all the admins out there: Please close registrations the first moment you have a feeling of "this is going to be to much". Be honest with yourself. This will help you, your users and the instance to be healthy on the long run.

some thoughts from a dreamwidth founder on running a service like mastodon on the internet (us centric)

Dear new WOC on the fediverse. You will not be protected from harassment on here unless you're a part of an instance that actively centers the protection of its users.

2, there's plenty of us on here that been around for a while and have been combating this for a time. We're here if you want to chat and our TL has plenty of receipts and is an archive on combating the whiteness of misogyny directed at women and femmes of Color."

with the flagship instances being as shitty as they are, it'll be a miracle if masto can get any black people to stay

Thinking about when the wall of the salt warehouse collapsed and it turned out to just be full of loose salt, like a child might imagine
