Glad you asked.07 Apr 2026 23:49 +0000at://did:plc:y6kgpaz3nrajg3zcf2lbpdpx/app.bsky.feed.post/3miwxsc47q22fhttps://blacksky.community/profile/melanatedfederated.blacksky.app/post/3mi75wbd64s2lThere are reasons why we wanted to build Melanated Federation. Connecting around shared interests is important but so is our safety. If you're in Chicago check us out!
