'There's More Black People Over There': False Equivalences in Platform Distribution and Gimmicks of Platform Capitalism
Of course there's more Black people on a platform that holds a billion people and has been around for twenty years. Expecting the same experience across different platforms with different profit (and sustainable) incentives is naive, disrespectful and dangerous.

Black people aren't monolithic nor should one's impression of where they reside on the Internet. Here, I make the case that focusing on numbers is a failure to put quality over quantity and ignores benefits for more curated online Black communities.

I might pick up Ticaye (an open social Web CMS I was working on) again *just* to test this out
If you are using MiniJinja, I finally released 3.0 which gets rid of Serde as a default dep, supports free threading, fixes tons of legacy cruft, runs quite a bit faster and is just overall nicer. If you want to play with it, there is a WASM demo here: mitsuhiko.github.io/minijinja/
MiniJinja Playground
Try MiniJinja, a powerful template engine for Rust, Python, Go and JavaScript, in your browser.

And visa versa frankly (software folks making sweeping claims about things like CRT, mining and what have you). Look at Curtis Yavin, for example
a curious habit i've noticed is that people with significant domain expertise in things outside of software really like to make sweeping statements about the software industry
