We implemented the new permissioned spaces spec. This is a step in the direction for making Blacksky-only posts work for our users in any app It is also a strong signal to our Acorn customers that their access-control gated community feeds aren't proprietary to Blacksky and work even if they leave

Moderation on Blacksky-Only Posts: A Community Proposal
Our team has explored several ways to make permissioned posts possible. Now we’re bringing the decision back to the community. Below are three approaches to moderation: a machine-learning system that automates moderation, a large-scale peer moderator program, or a hybrid model that combines both. We’re inviting your feedback to help decide how we should govern privacy together.
Introduction | Blacksky Documentation
Blacksky Algorithms builds open-source, community-driven infrastructure for decentralized social media. Our mission is to empower communities with tools for safety, governance, and control over their online spaces. This documentation is designed to help new users understand what Blacksky offers and how to get started with our feeds and moderation services.
Overview
What is Blacksky? Blacksky Algorithms is building the future of self-governable online communities with tools that make complex infrastructure simple to deploy. Most social platforms control what users see, how communities operate, and who gets to feel safe online. Blacksky changes that by providing one-click infrastructure for independent, self-governed digital spaces. Our platform lets communities […]

Permissioned Data Shapes: Community-Moderated Content - Nick's Blog
A community can own spaces the way a person does: a club's members post to each other under a dedicated community DID, with a feed space for content, a moderation space for notes, a labels space for filtering, and a single app view as the only window into any of it.
Blacksky
Blacksky is a social network. It is developed and maintained by Blacksky Algorithms. The project provides curated feeds and moderation tools to support Black social media users, many of whom previously used Black Twitter.

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…
Moderation on Blacksky-Only Posts: A Community Proposal
blackskyweb.xyzLast week, the Bluesky app shipped a content visibility declaration setting to let people opt out of having their posts appear in feeds like Discover. How your app might use that setting is all about intent and reach. bsky.network/blog/content-visibility-decla…
Using the Content Visibility Declaration
bsky.networkWhat do streets think about being able to read long form content / blogs from within blacksky.community (powered by standard.site) @pckt.blog @leaflet.pub @offprint.app in the below rough demo.
Bluesky is a dominating presence in microblogging on ATproto, I just posted from both Mu and Blacksky and they’re both still using app.bsky.feed.post records. But what if there was a community driven standard for microblogging the same way we have one for long-form posting with @standard.site?
