racism on the fedi
People new to the fediverse should be made aware that, regrettably, it is still a very white space. Black people, indigenous people and people of color have been subject to all kinds of racist harassment and other bullshit on here.
This is a thing that may be difficult to grasp, especially for people new to the fedi, and especially for white people who are not affected by racism. It can be subtle. It can fly under the radar. And everyone on here is a leftist anyway, aren't leftists supposed to be anti-racist?
In my more than two years on this platform, I have learned that no, just because somebody is a leftist and proclaims to be anti-racist in their bio or their instance's terms of service, doesn't mean they won't side with white racists and join in on the bullying of BIPOC on here when push come to shove. And frankly, that's fucking atrocious
@ELF depends on the instance. In general it's a good call to mark it as a bot (in profile settings) and don't spam the public timelines. I run all of my bots on botsin.space
@luna there's also something for LG webOS but you have to root for it (which was real easy at some point, iirc)
@luna on Android TV there's an app called Smart YouTube TV which is basically the TV webapp with ad blocking built in
@porsupah it's unifying the logged-out and logged-in views, which makes sense I guess (idk what happens when you have the multi-column view set)
re: Spit ???
@bentosmile apparently either paraffin / highly purified lamp oil or corn starch
