I hate how BlackPlanet and BlackGayChat are always forgotten when y’all talk about the evolution of social media. Black Twitter isn’t the start of black online discourse.

I was in AOL chat rooms lying about my a/s/l before BlackPlanet. 😭
BlackPlanet was probably a lot of older [Black] Millennials and late Gen Xers' intro to social media. Unless you remember Six Degrees.

Black Twitter helped make Twitter and it wasn’t clear if there would ever be a great migration to Bluesky.
As co-founder of BlackPlanet, I know how hard it is to build online community. It’s an enormous credit to @rudyfraser.com’s vision and dedication that Blacksky is now close to 1M users. #props

Blacksky has nearly 1M users. Politicians and celebrities use our moderation tools/service.
I was taking it seriously when there were 100 users and nobody cared.
I don't do anything on a whim.
