I’ve been seeing this trend in multilingual communities getting mass downvoted for posting content not in American English, and it's affecting how people interact with respective communities that post non ACE posts.
One huge e.g. was Sword of Legends 4 coverage. The raw sources were massdownvoted. Meanwhile an ACE corporation got inversely upvoted for secondary sourcing information.
Is threadiverse really this xenophobic?
Or is there something we can do about this?
Lots of people are here from reddit, so the chances of them being very racist is quite high based just off that.
Not to mention how bigoted and white focused the general tech space is, it was built by and thrives off of the white supremacist perspective. That's the real reason why alternative social media platforms don't take off, or when they do they just end up being absorbed by the exact same issues they were supposedly created to avoid, ie Bluesky.
What's the point in getting off reddit if the reddit attitude infects the alternative too? If you want to create an alternative social media platform that's actually worth using you need to make bigots uncomfortable, and follow the doctrine of the intolerance paradox. But asking nonblack people to do that is often met with ridicule or snarky superiority complexes.
I might even get downvotes or snarky responses proving that🤷♀️
So I am left with making the gayest most feminist anti-bigotted fork in history, and having army of anti-bigots making the downvoters uncomfortable.🤔
