@supernovae@universeodon.com @damonoutlaw @mekkaokereke @atomicpoet Here's a list I put together of things I read and heard in case it's helpful. Haven't shared publicly til now, but feel free to share if helpful.
Looking back at it in the context of this discussion, it clarifies why some people would feel more comfortable on a nascent BlueSky than on Mastodon as it exists today.

It feels like the common thread in all of this is moderation. It seems like PoC need a server that isn't managed by white folks. Because they're not going to get the moderation outcomes they deserve from people who don't share their experiences.
What would it look like to have some full-time black mods running some instances? Would that be useful?

You have a good point here, we need to find a way to make it easier for people to set up / run their own instance, share block lists and share expertise so anyone from any background can create their own space based on the needs of the people they serve.
I made another post where I would really like to see more basic digitial skills courses at least mentioning the fediverse, we need to create demand so that will happen.
Once that happens we can also work on more advanced courses to help people run their own instances.
