Genuinely trying to find more Black people up here.

@CathyBikesBook

Welcome. A few popular accounts off the top of my head would be...

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

This doesn't include the many, many folks you can follow and interact with from here, despite them being on other platforms such as Bluesky or Threads.

Hope this is of some help.

@imp3tuz LMAO, it's like searching for a needle in a haystack. then when i do find an account, they haven't posted since 2023.

@ApostateEnglishman thanks

@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
