   Mastodon, it's really simple.

   You want everyone to leave the dodgy car salesman's X-hole?

   You want a future where social media is community-owned and decentralised, instead of a corporate surveillance sphere?

   Well, those things won't happen until Black Twitter migrates here.

   And Black Twitter won't touch this place until there's proper moderation in place.

   The issues raised by @mekkaokereke, @timnitGebru, @KimCrayton1, @samuteki are not a peripheral issue.

   Fixing moderation is absolutely central, core work that is mission critical for the Fedi being successful.

   And if you don't do it, then please don't complain when (not if) everyone leaves for BlueSky.

     I can think of a few reasons:

     Larger, more visible extant Black population,
     lower barrier to entry due to single major instance,
     fewer FOSS evangelists,
     less hostility to humor or pop culture,
     Easier discovery of accounts to follow,

     @ajsadauskas if moderation is why black twitter doesn't migrate to Mastodon, then why would they migrate to Bluesky? Racism is explicitly tolerated in Bluesky's TOS.
