The death ray was built for peaceful purposes.

Celery tastes like a flavor deferred.

If your DMs are “encrypted” but one org holds all the keys, you haven’t distributed trust – you’ve built a backdoor. Juicebox only works when boundaries are real. Separation isn’t optional. Replication != distribution.

this is a pretty fun project! it is basically a decentralized WordPress plugin package manager, using DID PLC as an identifier and store for package signing keys; and atproto for discovery/indexing of plugins in the ecosystem. github.com/fairpm/fair-...

Getting all of these posts are exactly why I stopped being on the app until @rudyfraser.com suggested our own closed space for #blackSky …cuz 😳😬

Coming back to this. I don’t think people realize how dope this is. This is heavily community focused. And will set the standard for other private communities to do the same.

The side of the story that law enforcement and lovers of 🥓 don't want to show. That every week for the last 3 years We The People NYC comes together to build community in Bed Stuy. It's love. It's joy. It's Blackity Black Black. It's non-hierarchical. It's a No 12 Zone. We take care of each other.

this is so cool, and feels like the promise of social media made new again. ppl building private & semi-private communities on public infrastructure, giving users ways to dip in & out 🌀

My book has a cover! Reparative Media argues we can reimagine how we make media, how we connect through technology, and how we generate knowledge to heal our culture.

Deep thoughts on the NYC mayoral race

If we can get our monthly subscribers to total $2500 a month (we're already at ~$1200, so like 185 more people), we'll drop the fork this month. ✨✨✨ opencollective.com/blacksky/con...

howdy #atproto developers, meeting with @blacksky.app's relay developer. Any questions yall want answered, or anything you need more clarification on?

😬

ICYMI: "... Blacksky Algorithms’ work also functions as memory work—preserving the shared narratives and collective decision-making of the largest Black community on the decentralized web, while offering these tools to other autonomous communities."

The terrorists seeing this:

#NeedDat

thinking capitalism is here to level the playing field is another proof yall don’t read and are behind. it’s giving Windows 95 brained.

Our own app would be lovely whatever you gotta do to make it happen

I thin you should go for it. I’m never against us having our own community. Shoot most of us don’t leave the blacksky feed anyway

Us:

I like bluesky but, honestly, I miss my all Black groups from facebook and it's been YEARS since I was on there. So yea, a safe space for us without the bullshit everywhere else would be perfect rn 😭

Vous n'aimez pas la modération de Bluesky ? Leur gestion des cagnottes pour les Palestiniens ? On peut en proposer une autre. Sans millions, des alternatives a Bluesky se créent, avec leurs propres algos, modérations... Et ça a la carte, transparent pour l'utilisateur, sans s'isoler du reste.

🍽

In case you needed another co-sign, hell yea what we waiting on ???

Rudy cooking!!!!

I don’t even know why you’re asking, bro. Hurry up so I can ditch this shit.

I think from the responses it’s pretty obvious. The great migration happened once, it can happen again!

FUBU!

Yes. Closed community.

…you can do that? Sick!

i feel like having this as a start and growing from there is going to be really impact for whatever future the protocol has in store. i am so excited omfg

A closed safe community? Yes please

absolutely

Would LOVE a closed community environment

This would be cool. I enjoy the ecosystem I’ve cultivated and this would help with that

I don't think you can overstate the value of having a closed app right now. This is exciting.
