@CathyBikesBook
https://blacktwitter.io/about is an instance that is what it says.blackqueer.life is as well, it uses allowlist-only federation to make a safer space for members. I'd guess they don't federate with mastodon.social due to poor moderation. https://blackqueer.life/@tillshadeisgone/113312617711895513
Depending on your interests you could apply for accounts there, I'm sure the local timelines are great places for discovery. The local timeline of blacktwitter.io is also public so you could look there for accounts to follow.
@Eliot_L thanks for the links.

I do wonder what happened to Jaden, I looked at a backup of my follows and found his address, I think: @Jaden3@mastodon.social . But his account seems to have disappeared!
I hope he turns up again, he added a really valuable perspective and kindness whenever he posted!

That's very true

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

I want the fediverse to be better for black people and other folks of colour, but i recognise the work blacksky has done even though i worry what will happen on bluesky. -

@macacator someone mentioned you in my AskFedi post about finding more Black people up here
@CathyBikesBook yes, I am a negro, and not the White-adjacent variety either.
-
@CathyBikesBook ah yeah, this is like a cannon event unfortunately. this place is very white
.. Sorry.
I hope more people of color have opportunities to join. -

@imp3tuz @bottled_o_taki ok cool. i sent a follower request
@CathyBikesBook @imp3tuz @bottled_o_taki
There was a guide I can't find about being black on the fediverse. I'm trying to find it. In lieu of that there's this. https://logicmag.io/policy/blackness-in-the-fediverse-a-conversation-with-marcia-x/
