There has been some discourse on this topic involving Blahaj Zone, as we briefly appeared on TheBadSpace at one point.

I am requesting that people do not use Blahaj Zone as part of a dialogue to undermine the efforts of black folk trying to make the fediverse safer. Whatever your feelings on blocklists, and however we got listed, the matter has been resolved and we are no longer listed.

I actively repudiate our inclusion in any discourse that makes black folk feel less welcome on the fediverse.

  Whether you like it or not, #TheBadSpace is here, and it's here to stay because of its utility to marginalized and targeted groups in the fedi. As I've said a billion times, it's a work in progress and constantly changing, so I'll listen if one has a legitimate concern. But I am unmoved by people taking hearsay as the truth and engaging me in bad faith attempts to express their latent anti-Blackness because the thought of us defending and protecting ourselves enrages you. If you cannot engage with me as a sensible and thoughtful person trying to figure out some complicated issues, I will treat you like the bigoted asshole you're presenting yourself as. I am responsible for making The Bad Space as fair and even-handed as possible. I am not responsible for assuaging racist fabrications because you don't want to recognize my personhood.
