Fascinating to see that even when a white man points out abuse on Mastodon that his replies are riddled with "move to another instance"
Guys, while I know you're trying to help, you're not. The abuse shouldn't exist. We should be working together to figure out means of social consequence for moderators/admins of instances that allow hate and violence to happen. We should be standing in solidarity with the victims of abuse on those instances not just telling them to move.
Do we tell the gay person who wanted a cake at their wedding to just go to a different business when the cake seller is homophobic and refuses? No. We worked to create anti discrimination laws and pushed that they be enforced. Mastodon needs an anti discrimination rule that is blanket for all instances and enforced somehow without losing the decentralized nature. This is sociology 101, all societies need social mores. And if we can't have social mores that put marginalized and abused people first and enforce the lack of abuse then maybe we don't deserve to have this space.
We gotta do better
