Genuinely trying to find more Black people up here.

@imp3tuz @CathyBikesBook

.. Sorry. I hope more people of color have opportunities to join.

I just hope he's ok and left of his own accord.

@imp3tuz @CathyBikesBook

Great read, thanks for posting it

@CathyBikesBook @imp3tuz @bottled_o_taki

There was a guide I can't find about being black on the fediverse. I'm trying to find it. In lieu of that there's this. https://logicmag.io/policy/blackness-in-the-fediverse-a-conversation-with-marcia-x/

@CathyBikesBook @CathyBikesBook not black but welcome up here, man! Go Knicks!

@CathyBikesBook

@CathyBikesBook @FediTips welcome to the fediverse. make yourself comfortable perusing the hashtah stream. check my bio for some of the dozens am subscribed to ―but you always have to check the cats & dogs. that’s what the internet is made of

@blogdiva I love boosting people's pictures of their cute cats and dogs. Makes the timeline brighten.

@CathyBikesBook keeps my sanity in check. people have parasocial relationships with other people. i have them with other people's pets

@blogdiva lol. We all need some source of joy in our lives. Can't be doom and gloom all up and down the timeline.

@CathyBikesBook

I was going to suggest @Jaden3@mastodon.social but it looks like his account is gone.

@grb090423 @ApostateEnglishman @CathyBikesBook @potterybyosa Jaden's profile is gone https://mastodon.social/@Jaden3

@ratcatcher yeah a few other people suggested him and mentioned that they had t seen him up here in a while

@CathyBikesBook

Pity.

@gunchleoc @ApostateEnglishman @CathyBikesBook @potterybyosa

@tsyum I think they might be using ActivityPub through Peertube instead of Mastodon?

(For new folks: Peertube is the equivalent of Youtube except unlike Youtube it's able to connect to anything that uses the ActivityPub protocol, like Mastodon. Kinda like how I'm posting right now to Mastodon users from Friendica which is a Facebook equivalent.)
