I will never shut up about how the fediverse drove away an instance for black folks and by black folks. Not until the problems that lead to PV's shut down are fixed.
And I will never shut up about how key users and admins of Elekk contributed to that harassment. Fix your racism, you've already driven away too many people because of it.
Racism on Fedi | Describing Racists' use of Slurs
Like, these are the same people who accused an entire instance of queer furries of being racist because someone called a serial harasser a clown, which, by the way, created a shitstorm that ended up with Snouts collapsing after over a decade of operation.
All while on the same breath chased indigenous ex-Snouts users down on twitter to call them a "mangy mutt" or whose admin called PlayVicious a "minstrel show"
They are supposed to be our allies, and yet they merely added to the hundreds of knives already buried on the backs of BIPOC folk.

@FreyaManibrandr ...what do you mean by "over a decade of operation"? i'm pretty sure snouts is newer than our presence on the fediverse
