On the high street of my small town, there's a tanning salon right next door to a Black hairdresser. I see white people streaming into the first, and Black people into the other.
Being Black I know absolutely nothing about what goes on in one, and everything about the other.
We inhabit the same space, but live parallel lives.
I guess I am gingerly making an analogy to the experience Black people have been having on Mastodon, and white people's cluelessness about it.
