Blacksky is designing the future of mutual aid and payments online and we want your input! Fill out the Google Form so we can better design Blacksky payments to fit your needs
In the future we're building online communities function as digital third places. That requires independence & autonomy (rsky + blacksky.community). Hopefully also democratic decision making (assembly.blacksky.community)

And soon: the opportunity for privacy preserving gift economies + mutual aid
blacksky.cash Feedback Sessions
The Blacksky Algorithms' team wants to build payment features for community members to send money to one another across the AT Protocol (Blacksky/Bluesky). blacksky.cash would work within the AT Proto...

If the phrase `open source` means nothing to you
imagine if your favorite app worked like Wikipedia and anyone could come along and edit it

that's how the code for Blacksky works
anyone can edit it

it's also how our docs work; if you think something's missing or could be improved, change it

This powerful JB Pritzker response to Trump's lawless threats is another reminder of what I tried to argue this morning: Pritzker understands Stephen Miller's theory of this moment, and he's responding accordingly:

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11

me, @rishkebab.blacksky.team and @marisa.blacksky.team built this already by the way. It's called Papertree and it's now under the Blacksky umbrella.

Not only is the Blacksky PDS the largest community server on atproto, it’s also larger than 29.9K Fediverse servers as well (incl. Mastodon, Lemmy, etc)

They had 8 years and couldn’t do what we did in 1 month.
And we’re just getting started.

Blacksky only posts is end of week
Custom GIFs is on the list

Other two are unlikely to happen until there’s a few million in the bank account. Could change.

Tell a friend to tell a friend.
Where are custom gifs?
Media in DMs?
Videos longer than 3 minutes?

Who is designing that?
