   "because you keep saying how great BS is and bad mouthing one corner of the Fediverse, for seemingly not doing what you want."

   You wrote a lot of words, but I knew they wouldn't be useful after this start.🤷🏿♂️

   "Why are you criticizing the Dems! Don't criticize Democrats!"🤡

   "Why are you criticizing Mastodon? Don't say anything about it can be improved!"🤡

   Same energy.

   Listen. If me criticizing things gets your fragility feathers all ruffled, go ahead and unfollow now.

     I'm not sure who the Black folk are that listen to white people that say, "Don't criticize this space that isn't good for Black people!" but I'm not one of them.

     How do you think that would work? You say that, and the Black person just says, "You're right! My bad! I shall cease and desist my criticism!" and then it just... goes quiet again?

     Has that ever worked for you? Or is this the first time you're trying it? Am I the first?

     "The OP shouldn't do [X]! The OP should do [my bad idea] instead!"

     I don't take advice from people that have never pioneered and made a space that wasn't welcoming for Black people into one that is.

     In conclusion, I'm going to post what I want about the reasons this place is unwelcoming for Black folk. I'm going to keep saying how things could move faster:
     * Funding of safety and UX projects
     * Prioritization

     I'm going to keep ignoring fragile people's demands.

     @mekkaokereke @alexadeswift @mav I wonder how many open source projects would completely explode if they got funding for ux improvements? Look at what happens to blender version 2.8? That was when they overhauled everything to start to match other 3d packages ux. It's when blender started to be taken seriously...
