The Rev. Jesse Jackson, civil rights and me: How to process the death of a legend in a turbulent time?

I only met the Rev. Jackson a couple of times. But I'm still struggling to figure what his death means at a time when the fight to uphold his legacy has never felt more important.

@alice The harm caused when attackers are not screened never really goes away. I got attacked by Nazis on Twitter. I still feel it.

@kimlockhartga I've been tempted to start collecting the attacks I get and publishing them (with content warnings!) because a thing I hear over and over is:

"Really? I never see stuff like that here."

And these (mostly) white (mostly) guys were saying the same thing when #BlackMastodon talks about #Racism.

Or when #FemmeFedi talks about #Sexism.

It's like, dude, you don't see it because you're not the target. 😮‍💨

How many people know that #WordPress was co-founded by a black man, Mike Little?

Or that he's from the north of England? A self-taught coder from #Stockport, just south of #Manchester? Or that he never received so much as a share, cent or job offer from the $7bn+ valued Automattic after spending five months working exclusively with Matt Mullenweg on the B2 fork?

After @bevangelist told me about @mikelittle I interviewed him for a documentary I never got round to making. Back then I was left with two certainties: he's Wozniak to Mullenweg's Jobs. Among other things he added the one-click upgrade that's been central to WP's bonkers 45%-of-the-web-success. And he's one of the nicest people I've ever interviewed, which is also bonkers given that he not only didn't share in WP's financial success, but that he's barely known.

But he should be - so, better late than never - please meet #MikeLittle, perhaps the most-influential-least-known person in #foss… https://25.netribution.co.uk/nic/mike-little-the-british-co-founder-of-wordpress-youve-probably-never-heard-of/
