white afropessimist alliance / is on Nostr

we're Black liberationists - not 'PoC' or 'BIPoC'. not cis either.

we complain a lot on here & we do argue (not for 'sport' tho). you've been warned.

our profile photo features thin, straight, dark grey lines on a solid black background. it's unclear what (if anything) they're meant to represent.

Here's a nice horse. Can't discuss its contents though, as we're under an NDA.

@npub1wmx…4slz
This doesn't seem like a great idea on its face from our perspective. Some reasons:
- voting (especially majority voting) isn't inherently radical
- democratic decisions aren't bound to be much better than relatively unilateral ones, especially when the goal is just to have lots of people have some kind of input without meaningful education of this crowd *beforehand*
- "mods, admins, founders etc would have to be diverse" translates in practice to "a small group of oppressed peoppe need to put up with untold amounts of bullshit For The Good Of The Fediverse"
- the kinds of resources & intensive work it would take to set something like this up might be better directed towards several much smaller instances
All that said, is this idea worse than the status quo? Not sure.
But really, taking the coordination, time, money, etc. this would require & putting it into creating smaller instances+better software instead just seems better.
But if you or others have thought of ways to address these points or other relevant angles we'll listen.

@npub1fef…s5yt For background, it should be said that Uganda was already one of the "most inhumane" before this law came up—there were other similar laws already in place (some directly inherited from the british), assassinations of Kuchu & LGBTQIA+ activists like David Kato. The president & ruling party have been in place since 1986, with *increasing* u.s. support all the way. They carried out genocides in the north of the country, helped start the Rwandan genocide by training, financing, & arming Kagame & the RPF. Ugandan troops also slaughtered people in the Secong Congo War & have gone on to serve as proxy troops throughout East Africa for the u.s. war on terror. When donald trump made his comment about "shithole countries" Museveni publicly supported him
