Genuinely trying to find more Black people up here. #BlackMastodon #BlackFedi #USA
@CathyBikesBook There are more of us here than you might think. But I think Bluesky is the alternate microblogging platform where you'll find more Black folks (more activity in general).
I am glad Mastodon is available, but I would like to see more activity, in general.

@imp3tuz LMAO, it's like searching for a needle in a haystack. then when i do find an account, they haven't posted since 2023.
Oh, there are people here. These are accounts I know off the top of my head. There are more but I am old and senile and tend to forget enough of the name that I can’t add them directly
@StillIRise1963
@ErickaSimone
@BlackAzizAnansi
@potterybyosa
@mekkaokereke
@futurebirdEdit - there’s a pretty well common curated list!

@erichatfield never been on Bluesky. I'll check it out. I also heard of an instance called Blacksy, which apparently is part of Bluesky.

@grb090423 @CathyBikesBook Yeah not sure how I left @potterybyosa off the list! She's incredibly talented, been following her a while.
