   Holy shit. In less than 24 hours, I have had two apparently earnest white dudes in entirely separate discussions suggest that maybe the best way to deal with Mastodon being a bad experience for many Black people is to have more Black-run instances. To which Black people would presumably move for safety. That is, their solution to white racism is segregation.

   Not only is digital ethnic cleansing is one of the fucking goals of a lot of the racist shitheads, but this also makes it the job of Black people to clean up after white racism. Which is itself systemic racism. How about instead, white people take on the responsibility of limiting the ability of other white people to cause racist harm?

     @williampietri I'm a white dude, and that was my first thought too...and it didn't even occur to me to think of that as segregation. So yeah...apparently a well meaning person can suggest that without realizing the pretty bad implications. Thank you for making *me* realize the implications. Well shit. Some more and clearer thinking on my part is clearly required.

     ("Well meaning" is not a excuse, just a context)
