I'd love to see a list of mastodon instances that are explicitly welcoming to Black voices and POC voices, ideally ones run or moderated by POC.
White allies can spread the word about instances that are harmful to BIPOC, but personally I don't have suggestions for where people looking for a welcoming instance can go. All I can suggest is the #BlackFriday and #BlackJoy hashtags, which are great, but not the same as having an affirming local instance.
Does such a list exist? Boosts welcome.
The task of making a list has turned out to be more complex than I anticipated. Some instances with better policies don't want to be on lists ... they get targeted with attacks. So, I'm only going to discuss the larger instances & their histories.
There is a discussion board for mods & admins in the works & I think that will help centralize information a great deal. For now I've written a search for the #FediBlock hash tag and am cross referencing it with my survey results.
@futurebird ahh this is amazing! I'd love to see the outcome of those lists and searches. I'm sure it's really complicated--do you have scripts helping you at all, or is it all manual?
Thank you for all this work!
@scribblingfox Hi!
I created this instance for myself, but have opened my doors for folks who may have wanted to jump on an instance they trust.

It's sad that it's hard to immediately reconnect, but also heartwarming the amount of help provided in the REPLIES.
Lots of information there.
