    How can Mastodon fix this? How is this a Mastodon issue vs. any kind of social media?

    Mastodon is open source, as well, right? It feels like someone should be able to fork it if they’re really ignoring useful features that would help people.

      Yeah it’s not a mastodon issue any more than racist speech is an issue with our ability to vocalize as humans.

      Similarly, the solution to people saying racist things isn’t for all speech to be policed by a central authority, it’s for societies themselves to learn to identify and reject racism.
