BECAUSE I AM A BLACK MAN ON THE INTERNET!

Why do racists do anything?

However, this interaction is by far worse than anything a racist would ever do to me.

@milkman76 @silver_huskey Funny thing is, my experience with Threads and Mastodon are inverse to yours.

I have found way more leftists and LGBTQIA+ folks there than I have here and have interacted with their content.

Here, I've seen more liberals than I can shake a stick at and was literally hate bombed on July 4, 2023. That's two days before Threads was even a thing.

So, I don't know what to tell you.

As much as I would love for Mastodon to grow, I get why people are avoiding it like the plague.

People are flocking to Bluesky as X makes more unwanted changes

I mean, can we finally drop all pretense and say that the #Democratic Party is the new GOP?

Between a genocide, backing far right coups, and scooping of Republicans left and right, the party y'all called #Left hasn't been left in quite some time.

Look!

FEMA is lacking funds as it is. Don't be shitty to them. They don't have any control where that money comes from.

Violent threats against FEMA swirl on social media

Between price and increases and the removal of content, why haven’t these streaming services and content rights holders figured out why people have pirated their shit?!

Ya boi is finally employed again!

Has anyone ever pushed back on #KamalaHarris when she repeats the same lies that Israel stated back in October 2023?

There have been no record of sexual assault by the Palestinian freedom fighters on October 7th.

Why does she openly keep spreading this lie?

Why is no one holding her to account for this?

It's becoming so exhausting to point out how stupidly disgusting capitalism has become.

Amazon should get this checked out!

He is right, you know…

The Right (both GOP and Democrats) agenda is about control.

From what I've been seeing lately in regards to moderation on this platform, it seems like the #Mastodon stakeholders care more about growth than they do sustainability.

Why keep existing users when they just replace the ones that leave with new users?

Is there a way to block just Musky Musk without it violating the first amendment?

Oh, wait!

Something else happened.

I noticed I was charged $150 for going to the first aid tent to get my chest checked out during a city July 4th event.

If I had known it was going to cost money, let alone $150, I'd have just hoped that it wasn't my time and just go with God on that one.

I know I'm not the only one who got that surprise bill in the mail this weekend under similar circumstances.

If only we had money for healthcare in this country…

I just got back from a #SonyaMassey vigil.

I was one of the speakers and I think I did a great job, but I was surrounded by such amazing speakers and a choir!

It was amazing to see the community come out!

Hopefully, the next time will be in celebration!

This is outrageous!

@tillshadeisgone @crashglasshouses @SallyStrange @seachanger I’m a person who gives others the benefit of the doubt.

I know that puts me at risk a lot, but I still like to believe there is still some good out there in dark places.

Except for Twitter.

There’s no good there.

Can’t convince me otherwise.

@tillshadeisgone @seachanger @SallyStrange That's what I've been observing.

I've done some unfollowing, but it might require more drastic measures.
