Analizowałem ostatnio inicjatywę Blacksky.

Zrobili swoje narzędzia moderacyjne (SAFEskies), feedy, robią software do pds (taka instancja/własny serwer), przymierzają się do Appview (najcięższe).

W razie czego, będą mieli "osobnego" Bluskaja, gdy ten zenszytyfikuje.

Robią to w Rust (głównie). Bardzo ciekawy projekt.

#Bluesky nominally has the capacity to be decentralized, in practice, it's fully centralized. What led @vortex to call it "federation washing".

But what about #blacksky? Is this a working example of #decentralization of Bluesky?

On the level of technical infrastructure, it's a service built on top of Bluesky, on a social level, it's clearly distinct (different feeds, moderation, social user basis).

In terms of building a space of a large minority community, it seems to have succeeded where Mastodon failed so far,. And it might even be large enough to decentralize the infrastructure as well.

Mutual aid. Organizing. Sharing, contextualizing, and making meaning of news and health information to counter propaganda and information overload. The use cases for alternative social networks – not controlled by techbro white supremacist CEO's working with their cronies in authoritarian governments – practically write themselves in today's world. And with so many talented social scientists, designers, systems thinkers, and developers directly impacted by DOGE, MAGA, et al, there are a lot of people with the right skills for these new networks to make rapid progress.

The good news is there's a lot of promising work happening in the decentralized social media ecosystems known as the fediverses ("federated universes") and the ATmosphere (a fediverse built on Bluesky's AT protocol), including DAIR-tube, Blacksky, the #FreeFediverse, and more.

Still, as promising as these efforts are, there's still a long ways to go.
