 @a6a77f57 It’s “not functional” at the moment because of DDOSing, which is bullshit in and of itself and needs stopped.

In and of itself, what they’re trying to do is build a maintained blocklist that would create a federated space as entirely free as possible of anti-BIPoC bias, including microaggresions, including ones white people don’t even know are microaggressions, to build a radical (positive connotation) anti-anti-Black space.

That’s a legit goal; people can build the spaces they want to build here, which is one of the reasons stuff like DDOSing should stop.

ugh I have more to say but meeting time. More later.

(For the record I am not part of the project and in fact am not even allowed on the discord) 
 @e38395b8 thanks for your thoughts, I do understand and agree with the need to make these spaces safer for POC. Running a server for work has given me a small glimpse of the vitriol that's out there on an unmoderated fediverse
