The original sub was made because r/blackpeopletwitter only allowed tweets from black people. There is no reason for it to exist here especially with the waning popularity of Twitter…but lemmy full of useless copycat communities.

Wait, why IS race specified? I always was confused by that.

I think blackpeopletwitter came first on reddit and was a pretty big sub because if minorities don’t have their own space, their voices aren’t heard amongst the majority.

Or maybe whitepeopletwitter came first

That’s the shitty part of everyone just duplicating reddit subs. If Lemmy does take off, a decade from now someone is going to have to explain shit from 20 years ago from another website.

It would have been better off to grow organically on its own. But kids wanted to be mods to have all the power but not do any work. So every sub on reddit exists on a every big lemmy instance

BPT was first.

I agree with everything you said. The majority of communities on Lemmy are just reddit clones without any “heart” to them. Same names, completely different rules on what can be posted. They’re husks of subreddits filled with the most generic shit
