He's saying that there is a group of people who are stuck on a platform they don't like because of a feature missing from Mastodon that the users who can't switch called out themselves. The only racists here are the people who think he shouldn't help just because he's a different race.
- sph 4y ago> Mastodon is missing some necessary affordances; in particular the Quote Tweet, said to be crucial to #BlackTwitter culture Emphasis mine. I don't think he wants to help fight racial equality. He just want to fight for a subset of black Twitter nerds, and from his ivory tower he equates them with an entire ethnicity. Then wonders if Mastodon, lacking Quote Tweets is unethical because how can black people communicate then?! Spoiler alert, the black racial struggle is bigger than Afro-American nerds identifying with an hashtag on Twitter, with a deep love for quoting tweets.

You have deliberately misinterpreted what he said. Consider why you might have done so and why you think he wants to "fight racial equality [sic]." You've been hoodwinked into fighting a culture war that only one side is fighting. The same duped culture warriors who have been fighting against teaching about American history from the perspective of native Americans and slaves and have been fighting against some "war on Christmas" for the last two decades.
