Here’s the list:

  1. Listen more to more Black people – and amplify their voices
  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
  5. Approach it intersectionally

The full article goes into detail, and also has links to anti-racism resources and appendices with a list of common mistakes to avoid and blocklist resources for moderators.

Thanks to everybody who gave feedback on earlier drafts!

I think OP might have a stalker, this level of attention from weird nerds is bizarre.

As someone who is not a US citizen, I can’t understand what it’s all about. How could someone tell the color of the person who is participating? For me, everybody is just the same, and I can only judge them for what they’re saying, not who they are.

  1. Listen more to more Black people – and amplify their voices;

Isn’t it already done independently of the skin color of the person?

  1. Post less – and think before you post

I can only guess this point is lacking context.

  1. Call in, call out, and/or report anti-Blackness when you see it

I can’t say I have seen it, and I believe it happens a lot, so I guess people are reporting. That’s the better point of the list!

  1. Support Black people and Black-led instances and projects

If the message is good and promotes equality, normal people gravitate to it. Racist people will not care regardless of this text.

  1. Approach it intersectionally

What?

there’s an entire article attached you didn’t read before you decided to post this pointless nonsense, and the link’s right after the parts you quoted

I’m white and I don’t pretend to speak for black people, nor do I presume to dictate what sort of content they post in other fora, but given that pretending to be black online is a time-honored tradition of racists shits, this kind of stuff is … concerning: https://aussie.zone/post/3617992
