Recently there has been some strange posts about me. calling my timeline harassing and "#sealioning." !? Also called me a racist.
My timeline focuses on tech and coding. "Sealioning" is new to me; my aim has always been genuine discussion, never harassment. I was shocked how the conversation degraded into swearing, name-calling, and instablocking, which doesn't help anyone.
If anyone thinks I'm wrong here let me know. Let's keep it respectful and open to constructive dialogue.

A black Mastodon user was talking about the well documented problems, hostilities, and frustrations that black users uniquely experience in the fediverse. Hopping in with “I’ve experienced racism too!” doesn’t help, and came off as if you were trying to redirect or derail the conversation away from the black experience.

To be painfully clear: I don’t think anyone is disbelieving your experience, and we aren’t getting into it now. It is besides the point. That conversation was/is about the challenges black people have on Mastodon, and the frustrations they’ve had in trying to fix them.

Also I have not been "bouncing around servers" I've been here for as long as I can remember.
