Black folk: This is the kind of racism I get on fedi and why I don't feel safe here.
Two people on infosec.exchange: I'm going to reply with something racist that fits the kind of racism you say you experience here.
.art: *forwards reports for racism*
Infosec.exchange: *crickets*
Another Black person: Fedi is full of anti-Blackness
i.e mod: Report it to us! We'll listen and learn and fix it!
Me: well, here's two reports where there was a racism and you didn't fix it.
i.e. mod: nah they're fine

Just a heads up for mastodon.art users, I've brought up the notion of offering infosec.exchange to the fediblock gods because this keeps happening with them.

@Curator
I think you should. They clearly don't have the best interests of Black people in mind, even after it was highlighted and pointed out to them.

@Curator Is infosec.exchange that bad? I’m much more of a lurker than a poster, as I mainly use it for news and current events. I don’t want to be associated with a place that’s getting a bad rep though. Any suggestions for other cybersecurity or similar instances that are better?

@Curator From the sounds of that thread they’re saying they won’t ban someone for racism, only if it’s harassment. So… racism is allowed?
That seems like a worthy block, yikes.

@Curator Totally unrelated but marginally related to a tiny subsection of the linked conversation:
I also got moderated for swearing very recently on a non-fedi community forum of a project I used to be a huge fan and booster of, after a retort from another user was excessively rude, and I was told (after the head dev came in to cheer for the rude guy, for no reason whatsoever) that it's fine to express yourself in a more raw fashion.
I tend to try to be extremely polite on those sorts of forums, cause you'll have kids and parents and who knows what all there, but if those were the rules, I tagged in the rude guy and told him to go fuck himself, and that's when they decided oh no, too raw buddy.
On a totally unrelated note, would anyone like to buy a Zynthian V5?
