Curious what you come up with! And yeah, you tried to warn them, but crickets ... so far the only activity on the issue is a comment from me saying "this is a really important issue" lolsob.

I think this might be new behavior in Mastodon 4.3 (.social has been running the alpha version for a while). Here's a bug that @npub1tq4…6nqn filed on this a few months ago - https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/29723

And from @npub1l26…2ynh :
"I don’t know why, but the blatant anti-black racism on mastodon is way more insidious than the racism on other sites."
https://mastodon.social/@ErickaSimone/112830537143703931
So with this additional evidence, do you still believe the fediverse is better than centralized social media?

Here's some more evidence BTW, this from @npub1nau…d9fd
"I’ve NEVER been called NIGGER more than I have TODAY
Even with all the “protections” removed on TWITTER I don’t get this kind of response"

I talked about the importance of *evidence*, not just numbers. Here's @npub1ay2…exel's perspective: https://hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/111097260020459324
"From the lived experience of many Black Twitter users:
There are *more* overt nazis on the Fediverse than on Twitter.
There is *more* anti-Blackness on the Fediverse than on Twitter."

Who is this "we" who are saying this? Because consistent feedback from Black people is that the #fediverse has just as much or more anti-Blackness as on centralized social media platforms. And I've similar heard from a lot of women that Reply Guy-ism is worse here than elsewhere.
I certainly think it would be useful for ways in which the fediverse can potentially be better than centralized social networks, look for evidence to calibrate whether it currently is, and take a "positive deviance" approach by building on what works well (including emphasizing the positive aspects in communications). But the framing of "it's better, we just need to prove it" isn't great.
Stuff like @npub1kqc…7wgd's poll is useful even though it's a self selecting sample and not statistically valid (etc etc etc), and understanding *why* some people find it less stressful could be useful for advocacy -- just as understanding why some people find it *more* stressful points to needed improvements. But it's still important to take the racialized aspects into account. I saw a post from @so_treu@blackqueer.life on another network pointing out that in the post-Twitter microblogging world, white people have been trying to recreate segregated spaces. I wonder how much of a factor that is in terms of the people who find it less stressful?
