The future of the fediverse isn't to make it a bastion of solitude for white sensibility and inaction. There are so many other platforms that are built for that.

The future of the fediverse is us learning how to speak and communicate each other even when we are upset and conflicted.

The future is being able to talk with energy and passion without resorting to insults and bigotry.

A big part of Masto struggles with that. And they don't want to change.

Just as we see the white identified people's of various countries fight to preserve their dwindling privilege, we see that some struggle in the fediverse right now.

The world has changed. This is not debatable. People are sick and fucking tired of dealing with the toxicity of whiteness and it's inability to be rational in the face of progress.

The fediverse is not going to be another monument to whiteness. That time is over.

This upsets a lot of people.

Oh well.

I've said this before and I'll say it again. We all have to make the choice on what kind of community we want to build.

Do you want actual progress, or do you just want to some more token friends that you can to 'prove' you like 'diversity'.

Do you want to learn or do you just want to build a community that just affirms and validates your own biases?

We're all making some hard decisions right now concerning who will allow in our space.

This is a necessary process.

@Are0h

Just be careful, hate can fester in anyone's heart given enough power.

Yes, people of European descent have had their run at exploiting most of the people of the world, and yes the system of white supremacy in the USA absolutely needs to be dismantled (And the EU needs to face up to its own racism too)

But being able to dehumanize someone, to kill ones ability to empathize with the other, can happen to any human who holds power long enough.

@alienghic @Are0h You can get all the way the fuck out of here with this white liberal concern trolling.

@miql @Are0h

Don't let anger dominate your actions.

Anger can motivate you, but let your reason and empathy control how you seek freedom.

If you just let anger control you, your opponents will be able to manipulate you into making mistakes.

@alienghic @miql LOL, this is one of the most white and passive aggressive things I've read on here.

Kudos.

@Are0h @alienghic It's passive-aggressive as hell. white folks really are useless. LOL.
