   So, so typical of the fediverse that an open source, non-corporate platform like pixelfed (and/or loops) is getting increasing amounts of attention while reports of the head of the project consistently and loudly being an antiblack weirdo are ignored 🙄

     Unsurprisingly, I've got a lot of folks who haven't heard about these instances of antiblackness from dansup. This is how I know most fedi users in general either aren't connected to Black users or don't listen to the ones they are connected to, since this is something we have spoken about before. This is a systemic problem.

     Anyway, here's a post from WP (AKA a White Person) discussing several of his posts: https://mastodon.art/@welshpixie/113822469270748843

     And here's a thread going into more depth about AAVE, with links to contextualize and explain why his consistent appropriation of it is indeed antiblack:

     Could you, please, link me to what he said/did? I don't follow them, but I want to know what happened so I can give appropriate support to our black comrades.
