Genuinely trying to find more Black people up here.

@ApostateEnglishman @CathyBikesBook @mekkaokereke @carnage4life @AngryBlackLady @ErickaSimone @Deglassco @futurebird @qaris

Also @potterybyosa

There's Jaden too but I can't find his handle at the mo... Will edit this if I find him.

@grb090423 i'm following @potterybyosa

@CathyBikesBook For general awesomeness, science, tech and coolness reasons, if you are not following already, I recommend at a minimum: @Jorvon_Moss @eosfpodcast @BigAngBlack @BajoranEngineer @futurebird @mkbhd @popcornreel @Wolven @timnitGebru @zuul @majorlinux @mekkaokereke @patrickworld @davidnjoku @potterybyosa @JayJustice @darnell @ayilathebailey @carmanjelo @drcaberry and I'm sure tons of others who are totes amaze too, folks I hope you all know how awesome you are

@AstroHyde thanks so much

@CathyBikesBook @potterybyosa

She does beautiful stuff! I wish I could be as creative as her.

Still can't find Jaden ‍️

@CathyBikesBook constant harassment from some of these losers, and just a lack of fun and adventure here.

theres a lot of cute shit out here and some really nice people though, but like yeahhhh- quite hard being black here.

@grb090423 @CathyBikesBook Yeah not sure how I left @potterybyosa off the list! She's incredibly talented, been following her a while.

Haven't seen anything from J in a long time. Hope he's doing ok.

@CathyBikesBook @AstroHyde

@clayrivers @blogdiva @venitamathias @StillIRise1963 @dilmandila @nullagent @cykonot @ErickaSimone @macacator and many more. Just off the top of my head

@CathyBikesBook There are more of us here than you might think. But I think Bluesky is the alternate microblogging platform where you'll find more Black folks (more activity in general).

I am glad Mastodon is available, but I would like to see more activity, in general.

@CathyBikesBook @imp3tuz

Oh, there are people here. These are accounts I know off the top of my head. There are more but I am old and senile and tend to forget enough of the name that I can’t add them directly

@StillIRise1963
@ErickaSimone
@BlackAzizAnansi
@potterybyosa
@mekkaokereke
@futurebird

Edit - there’s a pretty well common curated list!

@CathyBikesBook @thiswomanswerk
@StillIRise1963

@CathyBikesBook Thanks. I have followed folks on the list I didn't know about.

@benroyce @CathyBikesBook @AstroHyde @clayrivers @blogdiva @StillIRise1963 @dilmandila @nullagent @cykonot @ErickaSimone Thanks Ben.

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

@ApostateEnglishman @CathyBikesBook @potterybyosa

I hope so too
