If you want a history of anti-Blackness on the Fediverse take a read of Mastodon: a partial history. There's a section on the four years of harassment that #PlayVicious (Ro, Artist Marcia X et al) endured.
Then there's Black Twitter, quoting, and white views of toxicity on Mastodon about how the Fediverse embraced the arrival of Black Twitter, or didn't.
These two articles are by @jdp23 @[email protected]
Artist Marcia X wrote some initial thoughts about the Play Vicious experience in Ecosystems of Abuse & Ro started to write their early history of PV on their site. It's down atm so link to the first post is here on his Fedi account.
Please also check out the audio conversation & transcript of The Whiteness of Mastodon where Dr. Johnathan Flowers focuses on Mastodon's long history of whiteness and racism, and how the very positive contributions of queer people are used as a shield against critiques or discussions of the platform racism and overwhelming whiteness.

CW: hopeful holidays, longish, remembering (+)
We remember #PlayVicious
We remember #TipsyTentacleWe remember our past.
and learn from it.Quietly, haltingly and often in the dark, we find one another for a time, with thanks for the time spent within the radius of their radiant gifts to us, and with memory to pass on these and other stories when our time is come.
We live in the world of today, and hold hope for the better tomorrow. A tomorrow of community gardens, strong unions, consent and ethics in collective government, and a future for the children of tomorrow.
To those of you who have held this light inside you, and pass it on to others, we thank you, and respect the cost.
You are seen. You are loved.
You still bring hope to people on this earth, just by existing or having existed.And we hold that, for those who will someday exist. We carry on best of us, with each moment that passes.

Das wäre schön, ja. Ich hab aber auch erkannt, dass das #Fediverse einfach nicht für alle ein Sicherer, guter Ort ist.
Nur ein Beispiel ist die Instanz von+für Schwarze Menschen #playvicious.social, die aus dem Fediverse gemobbt wurde. #antiblackness
Ich hab erkannt, dass "Komm doch in's Fediverse!" nicht für alle so einfach ist! (Ähnlich wie "Lass uns nach Unna fahren, da ist es gemütlich!" nicht für alle Menschen passt - weil es für manche da eben nicht "gemütlich" ist (vgl. #NoahSow, nur sinngemäß zitiert, ich hab nicht nachgeschlagen)).
Darum schaue ich eben auch, dass _ich_ (als multi-privilegierte_r) auch dort hingehe, wo die Menschen sind.
