Asking where to find POC spaces on Reddit was the biggest mistake I’ve made. (beehaw.org)

So I’ve practically argued up and down the thread, but after several panic attacks I’m one foot out of the door with Reddit but hesitant to leave as there are communities I enjoy there that I don’t think moved to Lemmy. The question was asked on my city’s subreddit and I had people try to frame me into being a racist, mock my trauma with white people, and try to minimize the effects of racism that follow us all in the current day. I’m tired, man.

I know not all white folks are bad but some are making me wish to not interact with them at all. I’m sorry.

Yeah, it was draining tbh. And i get what you mean, that's why i try to avoid reading comments when i watch reels, it's so rampant and out of pocket in there 😷
