@imp3tuz thanks for sharing. very informative. I joined mastodon.social b/c it was one of the first instances listed on the join mastodon page. i had looked at mastodon.plus(mstdn.plus) also. since being here though i have found a few more instances that interest me.
@CathyBikesBook yup definitely recommend switching if you please.
i have my other account over @bottled_o_taki . very cute instance.

@CathyBikesBook It's a serious problem with the Fediverse. I hope it changes. I'm glad you're here.

@erichatfield never been on Bluesky. I'll check it out. I also heard of an instance called Blacksy, which apparently is part of Bluesky.
@CathyBikesBook @erichatfield There is a "bridge" tool which allows Bluesky and Fediverse people to interact.

@CathyBikesBook if I remember correctly some folks felt not welcomed and went back to shitter or to other corporate alternatives. Weirdly enough when I tried to interact with a couple of them I felt not welcome

@CathyBikesBook Thanks for joining mastodon - and for posting this. I found a couple of great folks to follow in the replies that I am now kicking myself for not having followed already (they get boosted into my timeline quite frequently!)

@CathyBikesBook
https://blacktwitter.io/about is an instance that is what it says.blackqueer.life is as well, it uses allowlist-only federation to make a safer space for members. I'd guess they don't federate with mastodon.social due to poor moderation. https://blackqueer.life/@tillshadeisgone/113312617711895513
Depending on your interests you could apply for accounts there, I'm sure the local timelines are great places for discovery. The local timeline of blacktwitter.io is also public so you could look there for accounts to follow.

I do wonder what happened to Jaden, I looked at a backup of my follows and found his address, I think: @Jaden3@mastodon.social . But his account seems to have disappeared!
I hope he turns up again, he added a really valuable perspective and kindness whenever he posted!
