imho โthere are nazis on twitterโ shouldnโt make you shame ppl for not abandoning twitter it should make you want to have a long hard think about why a lot of Black and Asian people still prefer twitter over bluesky
i like and use this site but almost every day i do i see wild, unhinged instances of antiblack and anti asian racism and talking about it does exactly nothing so tell me more about the racism on twitter and twitter only
I think I understand the Bluesky part, but isnโt that happening millions of times an hour on twitter? Itโs got to be worse for the people the nazis target the most than it was for me, and it was unbearable for me.
a couple things: 1st, if you get piled on on twitter you still have a ton of your people to come back you up. that doesn't happen on here bc there aren't enough poc. 2nd, the effect of no one giving a shit about Black and Asian people is amplified more because this site is still smaller,
ppl still have a sense of there being a dominant culture here and unless the site gets much, much bigger that's not going to go away. 3rd, when twitter nazis troll you it's horrible but lacks credibility. here, there are nazis trolling you *and* a lot of white liberals who think they're good people.
white liberals who go ape shit if you point out maybe they did a racism, who will then get all their white liberal friends to flock to your mentions. the fragility here is off the charts and again, not unlike twitter, but much emphasized due to the size and the leading demographic.
White libs need to learn that when their racism is pointed out to them, ESPECIALLY BY A MINORITY COMMUNITY MEMBER, "fuck you, enjoy the camps" isn't the best response.
that last part I can personally attest to. People just, acted like the nazis weren't going to follow us here or that we did a good job keeping them out (the arrogance)? And Bluesky's not invite-only anymore.
