@semitones @tillshadeisgone @mekkaokereke That's something specific to Mastodon but not AP in general, I'd say. Specifically, many queer instances use a Misskey fork that have Quote-Posts for that reason (amongst others).

What I'm saying is: I totally agree that the "standard" Mastodon on a somewhat "apolitical" instance is bad for the BIPoC community... as it is for *any* discriminated-against group indeed. But the beauty of the Fedi is that we can build our community and do *not* need to depend on 3rd party white cis savior-type dudes to help us.

(Side note: A lot of resistance against QP came from the trans community because we've seen QP weaponized for targeted harassment. Mastodon often prioritizes this kind of safety over features. A proposed solution was to add a permission-system for QP. But I think this went no-where for Mastodon itself.)
