0·12 days ago@[email protected] , when your instance is online again let’s have a discussion about what resources i can make available to you that will center your community’s needs without someone like me colonizing the discussion.
(unless i have the wrong ladybutterfly, then my apologies)
i know this isn’t my place as a cis white dude, but can anarchist.nexus be a resource for a women’s space? i’ve been looking for gaps in the threadiverse we could nurture and foster. my #1 concern lately with the makeup of the hegemony of the threadiverse lately has been:
- eurocentricism
- authoritarianism by default
- black and white thinking (see above)
- unchecked and unchallenged mysoginy
my commitment to you as a cis white dude admin would be to stay the fuck out of the way of moderators looking to host a women’s issues community here, within reason. obviously it wouldn’t be okay to break instance rules against bigotry and such, but i can offer my commitment to shutting my mouth and knowing my role
edit: also, i bet @[email protected] and @[email protected] from my second original home instance would be happy to have a women’s issues community hosted on slrpnk.net, i’m still figuring out what my new relationship and responsibility to the threadiverse is now, but i think just like how there’s more than one world news community, there could be more than one women’s issues community so that people have a preferred and fallback space on days like today. the one thing i don’t want to diminish in this comment is the incredible work people like @[email protected] have done in creating a welcoming space on the threadiverse for marginalized people. i just don’t want that to be work that is only done alone. we should be collaborative towards a better, freer, world
also by even scheduling a debate between say… Bill Nigh and a creationist, the illusion is created that these are equal things, equally deserving of our attention and time. before you ever get into the moderator bias creating an impression that the truth lies in the middle of these two people when in reality only one of them is speaking in good faith.
