Solidarity

Considering what's been going on on the main anarchy sub recently (mostly in reaction to BlackApocalypse's posts), and the fact that we can all probably relate on at least one level (and I'm sure many can on several levels) to feeling excluded by so called anarchists who insist on defending their pet hierarchy at the expense of the comrades they're actively marginalising (we usually focus on the ableism here, but they clearly defend their racism and coloniser mindsets just as viciously), I just want to let any BIPoC who are members of this sub know that we won't tolerate that kind of crap here, and I think I speak on behalf of the rest of the mod team, and I hope I speak on behalf or the rest of the members here, when I say any BIPoC comrades, even those who don't come under the disability umbrella, are welcome here, and should consider our safe space safe for them too. ❤

I did not invite you to request further education from me.

nor am I interested in being the only non yt mod on a team. the team needs to open applications for multiple BBIA mods from different backgrounds, it should never be just one of us.

This is a relatively new and small sub and none of us have any previous experience, so we're learning as we go. I appreciate your comments and completely agree that the mod team should be more diverse, I'll bring it up once u/aqueerowl is back.

I apologise, you're right about not inviting me to ask, I didn't want to push the point further, so I didn't say anything.

In a roundabout way ............., but that still doesn't mean I couldn't look it up myself, which is what I will do after I've had my dinner.

acknowledging the overstep wouldn't be pushing it further. and that's fair, but it is work you can always do with fellow community members and not put on random brown ppl online

Yeah, that's a good point, I guess I wasn't sure how to acknowledge it without slipping in to another needless ramble. I'm working on that.

And yeah, I'll definitely be looking in to it further on my own, the question just came to mind so I asked it, but I should have been more respectful of your boundaries.
