Calling on fediverse moderators: if you see a post that kind of, sort of borders on racism, but you're not really too sure: yep, you're definitely dealing with a racist.
Learn about dog whistles. And microaggressions. Get a Black person on your moderation team.
None of the redesigns and user experience tweaks will matter if we can't make this place welcoming to everyone.

And before I get called out: sure, people can word things awkwardly, lack nuance, etc, etc. But we're beyond the point of giving people the benefit of the doubt. Especially if there is a pattern of "just asking questions". Being a fediverse moderator is typically an unpaid and often a thankless job. But if you can't deal with difficult situations, maybe better to just step aside.
