Apparently there is a "backlash" against a Black community setting boundaries for themselves?
I guess that's one thing the fediverse and Atmosphere have in common. People throwing tantrums and demanding that complete strangers listen to their unwanted opinions.
The bottom line is, while this incident does show that yes, other online communities experience anti-Black racism as well, what makes a difference is the response of that community. Eg. outpouring of support vs questioning and gaslighting the victim.
(And I'm sure the presence of reply controls helps!)
Fediverse has such a long way to go.
