It’s deeply fun and energizing to be back in an operating role. The team has been very welcoming and impressive. I spent my first week meeting lots of people and soaking up information, both …
Blacksky Isn't Just Another Bluesky. Here's the Difference.
Blacksky is built on the same open social network as Bluesky and many other social apps. However, we're building ours with a different purpose, different priorities, and a different vision for online communities. Here's what sets us apart.
How to Get Started on Bluesky
Waves of new users are flocking to the Twitter alternative, but Bluesky’s many customization options can be a bit overwhelming for newcomers. Here’s some advice on managing the flow.
The Blacksky team is working on a zine. We grew to where we are through word of mouth and along existing networks. That’s this, but offline. It’s important to me that the bleeding edge tech we’re working on is made legible to as many people as possible. What do you think we should include?
Based on the People's Assembly feedback we are sharing 3 proposals for Blacksky-Only Posts. The blog contains 3 possible options and a link to vote on what you feel is best! Let's make this decision together and get Blacksky-Only posts launched! blackskyweb.xyz/moderation-on-blacksky-only-p…

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 🙏
Our next @blackskyweb.xyz People's Assembly will have you login with your atproto account to participate. On login we'll match your handle/email/DID to our subscribers, open source supporters and check for Blacksky membership (in feed or blacksky.app) Badge + profile will show next to statements.
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.

I single-handedly run all the same technology that Bluesky, the ~40 person, $136M company does. My @blackskyweb.xyz team does full-stack content-moderation, ships products core to our mission + partners with orgs so we can be a long-term sustainable business If you rely on us pls pay a subscription
We recently crossed $6K/mo in recurring subscriptions 🎉 A nice milestone If I was solo on Blacksky that would be enough for me to make a living full-time on just all of your direct support But this year is about growing and providing for the core team who took/will take risks to work alongside me
