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

it's good that the CEO sees the value of alternative networks (I would NOT have been so nice about W social); what would things look like if everyone that gives bluesky its 'liberal' reputation hops off to one to stop it being a 'bubble'?

> 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™️

We are still working as quickly as possible to mitigate the current appview issue. We will continue to update this page as often as possible.

since our public beta launch many have asked - what is Blacksky and how is it different from Bluesky? here’s the short answer. we’ll share more in a longer article this week 🙏

Marisa@marisa.blacksky.team · 3d ago

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

Lastly, Blacksky is Black-owned and run by a small team of primarily community organizers and is not VC funded

- People’s Assembly: Members of the community vote and give feedback on product decisions - AI preferences: Blacksky respects how ppl want to interact w AI/not - Trending topics: Blacksky has its own set of topics that reflects interests of our community

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:

we love to see it! 👏🏻

"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."

Threads is “dead internet theory” in action.

Worth reading, *especially* "Traditional Social Media as a Prison" whatshappeningonmyfeed.leaflet.pub/3mqsc4nqyj22u

Traditional Social Media as a Prison

Social media apps have become a vehicle for community building, world news, and political campaigns. As app owners have enmeshed themselves more with the state, the carceral logics that haunt marginalized communities offline, became a part of their digital realities online.

What if an Atmosphere account could handle email, groupware, and device-level identity without putting Google or Apple at the center?
