   I don't share my personal life on fedi out of fear of doxxing, but if it helps my case at all I primarily work with the black community irl and only know like 1 white person lol.
   
   I've been serving the black community for 5 years now in areas like Inglewood, South LA, Compton, Watts, and Skid Row and without saying too much I've been responsible for a lot of folks having a chance at life at all which has been incredible to get to be a part of.
   
   And my friend group irl is primarily POC, mostly latino, indigenous, and black folks.
   
   I do a lot of the work that fedi folks just would not be able to, and that's been really eye opening about who deserves help because those in need would generally not pass the moral purity tests on fedi which pretends to care about protecting marginalized folks but is in reality fairly ableist and classist with its expectations of social performance, which doesn't surprise me that all the folks quick to judge and exclude are largely in the tech field and have no real impact on the material conditions of the real world and have no need to communicate outside their internet circles to see what the real world is actually like.
   
   I'm unsavory because the world is harsh and that's made me feel fairly jaded to performative online expectations that benefit no one and contribute to harm more often than not.

     Compared to what people deal with in the real world, fedi problems are a fucking joke and it's why I have no intention of taking drama and righteous anger on here seriously

     @eris I don’t have nearly that much experience, but I think I get it; during my time volunteering at a local NGO with libs and devout churchgoers (doing stuff from sorting and packing clothes that went to Ukraine, to less impactful things like organizing a used book fair) even though that wasn’t much in the grand scheme of things, it was still more than larping and screeching online (and such people would surely get my boss cancelled for letting the fan club of one somewhat nasty right wing newspaper to have their meetings in our building).
