Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Feedback welcome! Here's the TL;DR list

  1. Listen more to more Black people
  2. Post less – and think before you post
  3. Call in, call out, and/or report anti-Blackness when you see it
  4. Support Black people and Black-led instances and projects

Other suggestions?

If there was a rule I violated, my apologies! But I also didn't see anything about it.

you’re fine; there’s no rules against your post, and we’ve never seen that poster before (and good news — now we never will again!)

unfortunately, a thread about the racism experienced by Black folks on the fediverse will attract weird, racist reactions from random posters

Yeah I saw the name and ... no thanks.

This reminds me of similar threads about misogyny, with similarly dismissive replies.

Yep, very similar dynamics.
