Introducing Mosiac! (It’s supposed to be Mosaic, but oh well. 💀) I created this platform because I’ve noticed how unwelcoming the internet can be for Black folks, whether on mainstream social media or the fediverse. I’m tired of it, and I want Mosiac to be a space where it doesn’t matter where you’re from or what you look like — whether you’re a Black person in the U.S. or in Ghana. The diaspora is rich and diverse, and while we share common struggles, I want us to move beyond our pain and connect authentically. That’s the essence of Mosiac!
I’ve been working on this instance for a week (2 weeks apparently. I’m big brain.), and it launched yesterday. While it’s currently closed to the public, I’m exploring the possibility of federating with other Black instances out there. I’m really excited about this!
If you’d like an invite, feel free to DM me or email my business account at [email protected]. [You can email if you have questions too. (:]
(Please note that this is a safe space for Black folks only! I know of one other POC instance, rage.love, so I hope you can find what you need there. ❤️ [I hope this doesn’t come off as rude. 😭])

This looks great, thanks for sharing. My biggest gripe about the Fediverse was the lack of diversity, and it feels quite lonely here. It would be a safe bet to assume that the person you are talking to is from America and/or white, and it makes cultural discourse kind of repetitive.
Now all we need is an instance for us 3 Arabs on Lemmy!
No, I understand. Hoping you guys will have a space for yourselves too!
