Replied under the wrong post?

I don’t think so? I’m posting in reply to a picture that describes how to calculate currency inflation in certain markets and I don’t understand how skin color has anything to do with that.

The name is a holdover from the alien site. The culture changed but the name never changed once it got to Lemmy, and it's not actually about "white" Twitter anymore, just Twitter in general. That's how it's been explained in other posts, I'm not exactly a frequent flier in these parts.

My predecessors were racist, but I’m merely upholding tradition.
