I think part of the issue (besides racism & sexism; those are the biggest problems here) is that people have *different* models of what posting is like. My model has always been "yelling in a public square, which has very different norms than "chatting in a pub." I saw this as the main distinction between Twitter & Facebook back in 2007 or so. However, as social media has morphed from a fringe curiosity to something omnipresent, it probably makes more sense to follow the pub norms by default.
Also, regardless of norms, white men specifically need to learn to respond better to mild social pushback (myself included). Structures of hierarchy including kyrarchy & white supremacism teach that we can demand attention, answers, respect, and deference, even when we give none of those things, plus they intentionally baggage us with a parcel of myths that has us unconsciously enforcing hierarchies beyond the conscious shit we pull.
"Admins are almost exclusively white geeks" is a problem that contributes here, and it's one almost any open-source federated thing will have, but just because it's a better problem than "admins are at the whim of one billionaire and actively encourage thr worst in us for profit," doesn't mean it's not a problem that deserves both technical & social attention.
