The most insidious thing about racism on Mastodon is how it is done in such a way that the majority-white user base never sees it. I don't think that it's simply a matter of white people not seeing what they don't want to see - at least in the vast majority of cases.
So when a non-white person discusses the racism they see as a user of Mastodon, it must feel like gaslighting when white people respond with "What do you mean? I've not seen anything like that here."
@angiebaby as a white person on Mastodon for a while now, this is 100% true
@joshin4colours @angiebaby Same. So what can we do, if anything, in order to see it? I am also on mas.to and don't see much problematic behavior of any kind.
@BruceMirken @joshin4colours @angiebaby as a white dude I can say that I see racism here.
Newsflash: we're all bigots.
Babies are bigots for a reason.
We can only try to rise above it.
