Really interesting how the Black Panther Party came out in opposition to the murder of Renee Good, and not a single “White Lives Matter” or “All Lives Matter” or Gadsen Flag etc. person has shown up. Really interesting.

On a serious note, I’m proud of the work being done at #Blacksky as well as #Blackfedi. Black and Brown folks we don’t need to get caught up in anyone’s protocol & platform wars, life is already tough for us and there’s minimal spaces for us as it is. We should be turning #BlackTwitter into the combined spaces of #ATProto #ActivityPub . We need safe, fun, funny, creative etc spaces for our people. Black and Brown owned digital spaces! Where users can determine their own experiences without being dragged one way or the other regarding algorithms, full text search, quote posts, PM harassment etc I look forward to that day and look forward to contributing to that. #Blacklove #Blackpower #Tech #BlackFediverse

But I do want to give a special shout-out to Black people who stuck out with us, despite the fediverse not having a great track record of being welcoming to them.

Highly recommend checking out the #BlackFedi hashtag!

"soooo what else do we need to do to make this Blacktwitter, because I think we should do more of that"

I'd say: follow Black folks who are active in the fediverse, lift up their voices, report any harassment you see in their replies.

Make the people who are already here feel welcome, they'll do the rest.
