@mekkaokereke Mekka, I really hope you find what you're looking for on BlueSky.

And if you ever do come back to Mastodon, I hope that some of the moderation tools you've requested will finally be part of the main codebase.

@fivetonsflax @mekkaokereke I grew up in the US south. All history we received painted racism as a solely Southern problem.

We learned about MLK marching in Alabama.

We never even heard about MLK marching in places like Chicago, where's he's quoted as saying:

"I have seen many demonstrations in the South, but I have never seen anything so hostile and so hateful as I’ve seen here today."
