 Thank you for this🫂
There's not enough black people on nostr. People are mad because we have our own independence day like we're still not being slaughtered for speaking out of turn to the wrong man in a suit.
I guess I'm longing for community we forged on "X"
 (nothing can truly replace Black Twitter😭) 
 I honestly think a lot of activists relied far too much on Twitter. It was always soapbox on someone else's lawn. It didn't matter how welcoming the owner was, he was always going to sell at the right price.

I realise this will make me sound old, but Twitter was never really a shortcut for real campaigning. People still need local groups, to meet in person and actually get to know each other. That's the only way.

It's boring and it takes time, but real change will always be like that. Some problems have no technological solutions. 
 You're getting black activism and black culture confused sweetie.

Anyone can be an activist,  everyone can be appreciate the culture.

If you haven't watched "Black Twitter: a People's History" please do. It even talks about Jack Dorsey's part in it. I'm lucky enough to have one of the professors from the documentary as a mutual follower on X.  
 In that case I did misunderstand what you meant. 
 Interesting, I’d love to watch it but it’s apparently locked down with region restrictions so only Americans can see Black Twitter: A People's History.  
 That might excuse my misunderstanding. Geoblockimg is the pits.  
 I've asked about it and will update you once I get an answer!~ 
 "There's not enough black people on nostr."

there are lots of reasons for this, and they are all the fault of blacks alone. mostly its because this is like a layer deep beyond basic primate robot CONSUMPTION of the white mans "pooter tech", demanding actually learning something, and caring about such higher-order considerations like privacy and financial independence. with "being black" the chosen and main defining character aspect of the victim race, and state welfare to boot, who needs all of that?

"People are mad because we have our own independence day"

LMAO! NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOU!!!! Grow up.

No, we are sick of blacks because your people ruin everything - beaches, movie theatres, ENTIRE CITIES, restaurants and fashion - not to even mention the pornographic horror of the "music" you make, the knockout game, homicide and robbery rates, etc ad nauseum. being dumb, you dont understand this.

"like we're still not being slaughtered for speaking out of turn to the wrong man in a suit."

where? where are you being slaughtered for speaking out? everywhere i go all i see is loud ass inconsiderate and disrespectful niggers running their fucking lip-flappin ebonics victimhood ego trips all over the place. often sanctioned AND PROTECTED BY THE STATE -

You are the fucking man, bitch. You ARE the little weaponized destroyer, employed by your Massa, the State, and being too fucking dumb to work that out, the "im a victim" sham continues... 

"I guess I'm longing for community we forged on "X"
 (nothing can truly replace Black Twitter😭)"

im longing for that to. go back there. the sooner the better.

clean up your own HUGE mess before you start telling other people how to live and how to accommodate YOUR PUNK ASS.
