yes, mastodon absolutely has a white supremacy problem.

and so does lemmy.

the USA (and canada, and australia, and new zealand, and many more) are settler colonial states that were born out of mass genocide dictated by white supremacist rhetoric.

these states are white supremacist to their core

the fascists of the fedi don’t roam free on the wider network, they harass in secret, usually in DMs or “followers only” posts

there’s also a problem with subtle white supremacy, where Black people (and other POC, but mostly Black people) will get piles and piles of harassment that’s totally unrelated to being Black you see, of course, but its not happening to white people for some bizarre reason!! (see: the many cases involving TheBadSpace where any Black person who was ever so slightly in favor of Ro and their work would get a fuckton of harassment)

(the last one is present on pretty much all social media, be it pre-Musk Twitter, Bluesky or Tumblr, but im told that it’s especially bad on the fedi)

im surprised they haven’t done this tbh

okay, I was gonna say that it’s not that big of a deal because you can just slightly lift it when you want to turn it on (or just slide your finder under it, if they’re small enough) but judging by that photo, it seems like the power button is at the back of the computer? whyyyy??

anyways, im more impressed by the fact that their new shiny mouse who finally uses USB-C still has the charging port at the bottom. im starting to think they think it’s a good design???

the USA is not a “flawed democracy”, its an authoritarian regime that imposes its will on the world through imperialistic means

I don’t care to know if it’s better or worse than the chinese government, both are awful and both will get rid of you if they find you to be enough of a threat. fuck em both. fuck all governments really

opera sure, but at that point, any proprietary software can be used as an attack vector by the government of the country the software is made in, that’s not specific to china

i don’t see why chrome or safari should be considered more trustworthy than opera just because they aren’t made in china

the chinese government isn’t behind every software that’s made in china lol

like yea, opera is spyware, but so are chrome, safari and edge, and none of these are made in china

what does the browser being Chinese have to do with anything?

that’s true, but platforms like rumble were created to be homes to the far right. we shouldn’t encourage their existence.

fuck off out of here with your nazi platforms

Stop selling weapons to Israel, that would be a good start

Send more humanitarian aid to Palestine

Make it easier for Palestinian refugees to come to Canada

rest in power ✊🍉
