@Zwei @bluszcz No, not because he said 'y'all'. It's Dansup who made out like he was being criticised about 'y'all', but the person calling him out clarified specifically that it was about other language, NOT 'y'all'. Dansup ignored this, and has ignored other people pointing out his use of AAVE.

@welshpixie@mastodon.art the thing is even we interpret his behavior as a mistake, still blocking should be reserved to the worst of the worst. Your heart is in right place but in right place, have a well maintained community. But here in this case I think Dan’s block is disproportionate.
@Zwei that's fine, you're not on .art so it doesn't affect you at all :)
We have loads of trans people (Dansup made a transphobic post too) and Black folk on .art. We promise them a safe community, and our blocks reflect that. Someone who repeatedly uses AAVE despite being told by Black people that it's cultural appropriation and asked to stop, is doing it deliberately - he made a choice to be deliberately racist. We block racists, we block transphobes.
