i feel like we're really privileged on here and i'm not sure why that is (i mean i know we're going to be less targeted because we're white but)
but we've never seen a lot of the Bad Stuff a lot of people say there is on here, and the most we ever interact with bad actors is seeing people post block recommendations
maybe we're just not too well known, maybe we're insulated by being on awoo, i dunno
we've always found this place pretty comfortable though

@Felthry I feel this often, too. I particularly do want to help make Mastodon more friendly for Black and other people and don't know what to do. I imagine a good chunk is that I never look at the Federated timeline; it's just too much for me to read. The local on blimps.xyz is almost static, and my home timeline is all people like you that I know to behave well.
it makes me kind of sad that a lot of people find this a less comfortable place and i want to make this place more welcoming to people, especially black people who seem to feel very unwelcome here
but i don't know how to do anything about that
