@tillshadeisgone @blackmastodon@a.gup.pe @BlackMastodon@chirp.social It's nice to see this. There's been a lot of naysaying about instances as a salve for the difficulties marginalized folks face on the platform, to the point where even *saying* "instance" will stir up a storm. And yet, blacktwitter.io and other instances, like yours, will perhaps continue to set the example. Welcome to Mastodon. It's a nice big network with room for everyone.
