Blacksky users on a Bluesky PDS may be experiencing some problems, which means the Blacksky app or the Blacksky feeds may be slower or down for those users. Migrating to a Blacksky PDS may also be riskier. Users on the Blacksky PDS (like users with a blacksky.app handle) should be unaffected

Bluesky Server Status@status.bsky.app · 5h ago

We are investigating various alerts coming from our PDS fleet status.bsky.app

if you're having issues with the blacksky app beta, let the team know! random posts make it difficult to log and replicate the issue 😭 but you can report issues through the application itself! here is a quick video recording showing the process 😇

Status Update as of 8/3/2026: We have fixed the issue with the appview. You should be able to use both the web app and the public beta mobile app without any delays. Thank you all for your patience!

> Rudy deserves a lot of credit for taking those early risks when it was much harder to build and being the first to prove that it can be done, but it’s getting easier and easier. We are seeing more and more BlueSky and BlackSky-style networks pop up pretty often Shoutout the Original Risk Takers™️

Blacksky features that set us apart from Bluesky; - Community only posts: Blacksky.app users can share posts only for each other to see - Human, community-centered moderation: The 1st social media app to moderate for anti-Black harassment, misogynoir, ableism & fatphobia

Happy Friday! I've been building towards an "Atmosphere OS", where my atproto account is the identity layer on a real phone. I wrote a little bit about it here:

Literally about ready to print 500 Latinsky flyers and staple them to telephone poles all over LA Not even joking

"One launch dominated the week's engagement" "Blacksky's mobile app hit public beta: By engagement this was the biggest ATProto story of the week, by a wide margin — roughly ten times the reach of anything else. iOS TestFlight and Android are both open."

🧵 Blacksky is looking to buy a server for $30k USD. We'd like the following specs or better: - 384 GB RAM - 80 TB NVMe; ZFS RAIDZ2 in 2 vdevs - 1 Gbps + 10 Gpbs burstable - at least 84 threads for the CPU(s) - Ideally somewhere in the eastern half of North America but open to North America and EU

A critical way to support @blackskyweb.xyz 👇🏾 support needed ASAP

With today's launch of the @blackskyweb.xyz app, there's a possibility of an increase in targeted harassment towards Black and Latine people. Have already seen a few posts, unfortunately. If you see it, report to @moderation.blacksky.app and @moderation.latinsky.app. Don't engage, just block.

On that note: hello from the @blackskyweb.xyz Android app 👋🏼

Anuj Ahooja@quillmatiq.com · last wk.

If you want an alternative to Bluesky's moderation and experience *with your Bluesky account*, this is a solid option. To re-iterate: no need to get a new account, you just sign in with the account you're seeing this post with, and you get an alternate moderation team. Huge. Huge huge huge.

this is so fucking cool

In case you didn’t already know, if you download the new Blacksky app and have a @latinsky.app handle, you’ll get to see our UI, with the Latinsky butterfly and other presets. @blackskyweb.xyz is doing some amazing work right now.
