Official Title of this Community: Ethnic Minorities and People of Color
Why is the title different?
We like to have fun here.
What is this place? A safe space for underrepresented peoples and peoples of color to talk, chill, and vibe.
What are the basic rules of the community?
-
Follow Lemmy TOS and Community Guidelines. Non negotiable. This is the bedrock and mods will make decisions with this always in mind.
-
This community is for ethnic minorities and people of color. This is a safe space where such people can freely discuss their struggles, insight, and thoughts without fear. If you are not, we respectfully ask you do not post or comment here. A future community will be established to allow for racial discussions with a mixed userbase. However, remember, comments here must still respect Lemmy TOS and Community Guidelines.

Irony Racism is still racism. Racism is bad m'kay? We will treat irony racism and bad faith racist satire as racism. Will wield the ban hammer accordingly.
-
No sectarianism: This is an identity channel not a channel for you all to complain about why XYZ isn't the "one true leftism". Take that to another place.
-
Stupidpol is not allowed. Stupidpol is class reductionist. We are an identity community. Thinking like stupidpol ignores the struggles of the oppressed, their voices, and their need for unique support. Nothing says oppression more than someone saying that the identity you have is "not real" and that if you only thought like them you'd see what your "real" identity is. Mods reserve the right to ban users and content who promote stupidpol, stupidpol memes, and other class reductionist thinking.
FAQ
I don't look XYZ and/or sometimes I can pass as white so I don't know if I can post here. Can I?
-
This place is for ethnic minorities and people of color. This includes those of mixed heritage and those who may be "white" but are of an ethnicity that is a minority in their area (i.e. Kurds, etc) If you've experienced oppression due to your identity that is not based on sexual / gender identification, you are welcome here.
-
Moreover, for our American audience, we have people from around the world who are "white" but are oppressed due to being a minority in their country. They are and should be welcomed here.
What can I post?
- Anything you think is relevant to the mission of this community. Things will evolve over time.
- Topics and things relevant to EM and POC.

Okay, sure.
This is suspicious lmao. Banning him again when the struggle session has "passed" isn't the best look IMO and is exactly what this comm predicted.
He is continuing wrecker behavior by posting excerpts of a chat leak that did not show the end point of the discussion. Which was that his lemmygrad alts were allowed, as long as they don't break CoC, Nakoichi is demodded and not permitted back. zposter's lemmygrad alt was banned for misrepresenting mod actions by claiming in bad-faith that we are using AI tools and deanonymizing the IP. I mean he even pretended not to be an alt in last week's thread to manipulate this community in bad-faith.
We don't use AI tools which is what I replied to the mod that made that claim in error, we used his own statements, the view upvote tool and cross referenced comments with voting patterns among the suspected alts to determine which were his alts. Yes some mistakenly got banned in that initial process but were unbanned.
I replied to durings via a DM a day ago with this screenshot that I said shortly the person who leaked the chat was removed.

To me zposter has passed the point of engaging with the site in good faith and is completely dedicated to wrecking as retaliation for being banned for years of hostility, periods of denying covid, complaining about displayed pronouns, mod actions for racism, misogyny, using alts to vote manipulate and sock puppet discussions.
