TheAvgOniIt's funny. I left Twitter about a month ago and I thought I would miss it because I liked some of the communities on there but in reality I don't miss it much. Just wish I knew other servers for Black people on the Fediverse. #BlackMastodon
platanoutre@theaverageoni Same here. I keep searching but to no avail. I think better tagging will help the community build up. #BlackMastodon #BlackFedi
Flying_Donny for democracy@theaverageoni I'm glad you're here!
OpenDNA⚙️@theaverageoni For what (little) it's worth, I gather you're doing it right by using the hashtag and following Black fediverse members.
Black servers tend to be targets for harassment so it takes more skill and resources to keep users safe. I know two which survived and seem to be doing well now, but they both went through crisis periods which turned many of their new users off Mastodon.
Sam Levine@theaverageoni I don't know if anyone has mentioned these yet, but blacktwitter.io and blackqueer.life are both explicitly Black servers. There might be other smaller ones out there too.
the people's eva@theaverageoni far as I've been able to find the biggest one is blacktwitter.io, and then there's also terror.black. rage.love and mage.town are all pretty up front about centering Black voices.
Oh, and there is also my server! We're small but my users seem to like it here.
And if you're not picky about being on Mastodon only, there's also wibblur, which does have a larger membership than those I named but doesn't federate.
