So like what’s up with the display name for !whitepeopletwitter@lemmy.world lol? I’m hoping it’s some kind of in joke I am missing or a typo but this could very easily be read as casual racism.

The community is a copy of the subreddit r/whitepeopletwitter, which is a spin-off of r/blackpeopletwitter. It’s not meant for exclusively white-person tweets - rather, it’s just meant to be a funny name to those who are aware of r/blackpeopletwitter. The omission of “white” in the display name is probably to reflect that they accept tweets from people of any ethnicity.
hmmm ok i see that reasoning i guess. threw me for helluva loop tho.
imo if ur gonna change the display name then just change the comm name too. cuz this looks really iffy haha.
