When I first took over, since it’s so small here on Lemmy, most people felt the community name seemed racist and uncomfortable because there wasn’t enough content. Tbh, it felt racist and uncomfortable on reddit too.
This is one of Sergio’s comments (on a great synopsis btw):
since Black people couldn’t have something without White people copying or co-opting it, someone formed a “white people twitter” sub on r$ddit
It was my understanding that White People Twitter was originally supposed to make fun of white people on twitter who were shitty towards black people on twitter. Somewhere along the way, this concept was lost on half the people.
Edit: It is my understanding that it was always called WhitePeopleTwitter.
