Since black Twitter is a thing, is there a black Mastodon yet?

Follow

@maloki @Malin The comment I most often get from black twitter friends about Mastodon is, “I have to know where the black folk are before I go somewhere. Show me where we are and I’ll come check it out.”

(I do know there’s no clear and easy path from where we are to there! It’s just a comment I feel needs amplifying.)

@maloki @Malin Tx. Just one follow-up question: I haven’t lately followed the occasional discussion about !groups of the gnu-social kind. As an additional possibility for community-clumping, is/was there any potential there? Or are there insuperable tech/social obstacles for groups in Mastodon?
