I think it would foster a more diverse community if we did that.

    Seems like it would facilitate privacy/ doxxing issues, imo. On a place like blackpeopletwitter or other race-focused places it can make sense for keeping bad actors like white supremacists out, but not for a community like this where the whole point is just "be leftist".

    Maybe if we had communities specifically for leftists of a particular identity and focusing on the specific concerns and struggles of those groups, maybe it would make some sense then, but that still seems kind of against the ethos of trans-racial solidarity over shared class struggle.

      Pretty sure we do, c/transenby_liberation and /em_poc for example. It's still a terrible idea.
