carl marksDoes anybody on here know of an instance dedicated to Black queer folks? I'm not necessarily planning on moving but I am curious since apart from blacktwitter.io and wibblur I haven't even seen much that's even focused on Black communities. And if there isn't one/aren't many... Is that something people would be interested in? 👀 Edit: well, I went ahead and spent most of the past day making one. https://blackqueer.life is the name. Check it out!
Calamity Caitlin@tillshadeisgone I mean. I started an instance for the ten Supernatural fans on here, and I've had almost no interest, but almost every day I see at least one new Black person searching for their community. I think you will have the interest. ❤️
@tillshadeisgone (ofc I don’t know the venn diagram of Black and queer but this place seems way more queer than the last few places I've been. 🥰🥰🥰)

Jennifer Moore 😷Saw your update edit! Respect!
I was just thinking more about your new instance, & what'll be on your plate if it takes off! Couple of useful things in case you hadn't already seen them:
- https://thebad.space/about is a resource where you can download a list of dodgy instances to block. (and @Are0h is a good person to follow if yr not already)
- I've seen discussions of how it's useful to have moderators in different time zones around the world, so that when you're asleep, someone else is naturally awake.
Dobviews@tillshadeisgone Hoping you found a spot where you feel welcome and comfortable. If you ever decide to venture out I have fresh brewed coffee and swirl bread ready for ya. Bring your friends and family, all are welcome. 🫂💙🤍🌈🌈🌈🌈🫱🏻🫲🏽

New instance for Black queer people: "My intention for BlackQueerLife is that when Black queers are searching for a place in the fediverse to call home, we are accessible to them." - @[email protected] https://blackqueer.life/about #Black #queer #fediverse
