Feedback welcome! Here's the TL;DR list

Listen more to more Black people

In the context, the author isn't saying "you should reduce your whole Fediverse activity". It's more like "when talking about this stuff, if you aren't black, think before you say something. And you probably don't need to say it, it's better to shut up".

It's sensible advice even if worded poorly.
