@feditips I don’t know why, but i’ve lost my ability to follow people. When I go to someone’s profile, the follow button is just a blank gray.
PS i’m still getting my bearings in the fediverse so if there was a smarter way for me to ask this question, I apologize for not pursuing it.
@JWneural@ErikaSumner@feditips i’m new-ish here so i’m assuming your toot and accompanying photo convey something not scary that I just don’t understand. Please elaborate.
@JWneural@ErikaSumner@feditips Thank you so much for explaining! I’m heavily involved in public policy, govt & social justice issues & my 1st thought was that this was coming from someone belonging to a party known for threatening tactics. I clearly lost the plot when I forgot that there’s an elephant theme to the Fediverse🤣
Absolutely zero offense taken & I very much appreciate you responding. Thought I was reaching out to the @mstdn.social server admin, not the entire fediverse. #Whoops!
@KatLS While #Atlanta is one of the very few cities in the country with a true, thriving, #Black middle-class, #racism is still a fixture & since anti-#trans movements have gained a foothold in America, #LGBTQ friendly doesn’t mean as much as it used to. Black trans #women are killed at DISPROPORTIONATELY higher rates than any other group. It remains extremely dangerous for these women just to try to exist amongst the rest of us. #TransRightsAreHumanRights#BLM#BlackMastodon
