I had the privilege of discussing Blacksky and AT Protocol at several different college campuses, conference venues and other settings along with webinars and doing user research. I plan to share those learnings to help others build better products and how we particularly plan to incorporate those learnings from both a product and operations standpoint.

In November, I'll be leading an online writing workshop called Friends as Force Multiplier [https://otherinter.net/workshops/fafm/], hosted by semi-enigmatic consultancy Other Internet [https://otherinter.net/]. FaFM will focus on understanding, navigating, and leveraging internet communities — from empathy to economics and back. I don't have any teaching credentials

We’re looking for a Head of Design to lead and shape how our products and brands look, feel, and work. please circulate widely. blackskyweb.xyz/about/jobs/head-of-design/
Head of Design
blackskyweb.xyzThe 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?
This is probably one of the most important issues in terms of labor, tech, UX, etc that the Atmosphere needs to solve (decentralized moderation). I would invite people to pay attention to what the @blackskyweb.xyz team and its community are doing and take notes.
One of our most exciting releases since the founding of Blacksky. Multi-community support. acorn.blacksky.community
