Someone asked for recommendations for black folk to follow on here.
No secret that Mastodon is less inclusive than it could/should be in this regard.
I follow several black people, and just went thru my list to find a few to recommend...
THEY'RE ALL GONE!
Well, most of 'em. Quietly, one by one, they just got tired of trying, and moved on.
We white folks suck at this.
From one of my favorites, gave up on us a year ago. I miss her.
