    Hey y'all! I have some news- idk if you have seen any discussions recently about issues with the Black Mastodon groups we have, but one of them is being shut down and the other one has been targeted repeatedly by spammers and white supremacists, since due to its design it is not really able to be moderated.

    Thanks to a helpful suggestion, though, I was able to request a new group bot that has actual safety features- and they approved it!

    You can find it at @blackfedi.

    A couple of disclaimers: unlike the gup.pe bots, this one will only boost mentions from people actually following the account. Furthermore, the follows have to be manually approved. This will hopefully allow for Black folks to be using it more safely than the unregulated bots already in existence.

    Hopefully we can strike a balance between ease of use and protection. We'll see!

    Also, if you want to mention the account without it boosting your post, simply put ! at the beginning. For example: !@blackfedi

      @onlybrownmastodon @blackfedi fedi groups.social itself may be (idk for sure but I assume it is) BUT the follow requests go to me.

      Now, I don't have the knowledge/energy to make my own version of a group instance like that but if you know of one I would happily promote and use it!

      @tillshadeisgone @blackfedi

      Is fedigroups.social run by white people, as is most of "backbone" of the fediverse?

      If so, it might be worth creating an alternative run by nonwhite people (given the record of the white-controlled Fediverse thus far regarding "diversity" when it comes to nonwhite perspectives, some of which you mentioned in your post).

      Great job creating this!

      Is it intended just for Black people to follow, or are other people okay to follow? I am white

      @PadreWil hi sweetie, it's because there are racists and the white people who control most of Mastodon's infrastructure can't be bothered to try to exclude them. This is usually the answer to "why do Black people need X" online. Is this your first time considering the needs on Black people in online social spaces?

      @tillshadeisgone @blackfedi Why do Black Americans need their own Mastodon ? I want to welcome them here !! Why can't we all be together ?

      @carl hey Carl just so you know, the bot is boosting your replies to this racist so please untag it when responding to him. This is exactly why the bot is set up with certain safety features, to prevent Black folks from being exposed to white supremacy like what he is saying. Also please untag me btw cuz I already suspended him from my server. Thanks!

      I'm going to tag the bot in this so other followers can see and follow suit going forward
