How would a community for black folks do here? (beehaw.org)

I'm on the verge of stepping away from Reddit (I might stick around to moderate some communities but won't be actively engaging with the content). I’d like to bring over the things I enjoyed from Reddit, specifically some communities I liked. I'm curious about how well they would do here or on an instance like lemmy.world. Most of the communities I participated in on Reddit were black focused, which often brought in trolls or upset users. 💀

I don't really see it as such, so I'm just going to say agree to disagree.

That is a acceptable response, functional, respectful disagreement is good! Can you share more about why you think that though? What could this community do that a new one for the specificness of the one you want?

I’m not entirely sure how this will come across, but I believe it’s best for this group to remain as it is. I understand that some may disagree, but I’ve been feeling uncertain about the term ‘POC.’ Not every one of us will share the same experiences, and I think it’s perfectly acceptable for those of us who wish to create spaces that reflect our individual cultures. I believe we can coexist positively, as long as we maintain respect for one another.
