However, it would involve the Fediverse outside of Mastodon. Places which, thanks to their technological features, are magnitudes safer and more private than Mastodon. And that wouldn't be helping. Instead, it'd be bad in many ways.<br><br>First of all, as you've written yourself, suggesting people move someplace else is racist. And no, it doesn't matter if they move from Mastodon to Mastodon or from Mastodon to <a href="https://codeberg.org/streams/streams" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">(streams)</a> or even only Hubzilla.

Or if they do know, they consider everything else in the Fediverse to be <em>even worse</em>. Because it isn't Mastodon. Because they don't really know it, and they don't want to find out the hard way by trying.<br><br>Third, I couldn't tell anyone about anything that isn't Mastodon without being a mansplaining reply-guy anyway. I'm dead-serious, I can't.<br><br>And fourth, who gives anything upon what a privileged white cis-het male writes who isn't even on Mastodon himself?<br><br>(4/7)<br><br>#<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Long" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Long</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=LongPost" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LongPost</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=CWLong" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CWLong</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=CWLongPost" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CWLongPost</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=FediMeta" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">FediMeta</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=FediverseMeta" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">FediverseMeta</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=CWFediMeta" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CWFediMeta</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=CWFediverseMeta" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CWFediverseMeta</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fediverse</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mastodon</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=NotOnlyMastodon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">NotOnlyMastodon</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=FediverseIsNotMastodon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">FediverseIsNotMastodon</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=MastodonIsNotTheFediverse" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">MastodonIsNotTheFediverse</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Streams" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Streams</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=%28streams%29" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">(streams)</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Mansplaining" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mansplaining</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=ReplyGuy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ReplyGuy</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=ReplyGuys" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ReplyGuys</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Sexist" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sexist</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Sexism" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sexism</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Misogynist" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Misogynist</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Misogyny" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Misogyny</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Homophobic" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Homophobic</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Homophobia" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Homophobia</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Transphobic" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Transphobic</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Transphobia" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Transphobia</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Ableist" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ableist</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Ableism" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ableism</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Racist" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Racist</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Racism" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Racism</a>
