most blacksky users don't see the worst of the worst bc blacksky peer moderators use these filters to keep us safe! the biggest difference between #blacksky and other social apps is their team has put COMMUNITY over ENGAGEMENT they're dedicated towards making sure our mental safety is a priority 💕

if you're on #blacksky or a @blackskyweb.xyz product on ACORN (which @medsky.network is!): you have the special opportunity to deprive racist moneygrubbers from oxygen by reporting them! @moderation.blacksky.app will label their post and stop it from showing up on others' feeds too 🥰 REPORT!

A screenshot taken from @moderation.blacksky.app

It shows a close-up of a label selection for "White Supremacy or Antiblack Rhetoric". The description reads: "Content that expresses statements that are rooted in white supremacy and anti-black rhetoric that does not fall under targeted anti-black harassment.This may include interalized anti-blackness that is harmful in nature."

The filter is set to HIDE any posts of this nature.

A screenshot taken from @moderation.blacksky.app

It shows a close-up of a label selection for "Misogynoir" and "Antiblack Harassment".

The descriptions read: "Content that expresses hatred, bias, or prejudice against Black womem, specifically where racism, sexism, and/or transphobia intersect. This includes sexual hassmemt, objectofication, and targeted attacks on Black women's identity or appearance" and "Content that targets individuals or groups based on their Black identity with derogatory, hateful, or dehumanizing language or imagery. This label is applied to perpetuates harmful stereotypes, slurs, or direct harassment aimed at Black individuals or communities."

Both filters are set to HIDE any posts of this nature.

Alright I went back and made another account cause I didn't feel like I was doing blacksky right by not showing the customization and care they put in for their community on the first screens of onboarding - Highlighting moderation/community guidelines accept - People's assembly built in feature

A onboarding screen talking about blacksky's moderation adn asking for you to confirm the community guidelines

Showing off the in app peoples assembly support in blacksky.community

@blackskyweb.xyz's account onboarding for new accounts is so nice. I missed the pictures but the very first slide was on the community labeler and guidlines. They do a great job highlighting other apps on the Atmosphere and that their account works everywhere, default For You feed as well

shows a list of atprotocol apps you can use with your blacksky account

First page load of blacksky is the foryou feed

Grateful to @devawo.bsky.social for inviting me to this space and for spotlighting the work Blacksky does in the AT Protocol ecosystem as a form of archival practice as well as embodying the trickster spirit 🖤.

I don’t want to sound glib, but if a woman actually wanted to “make up a crime to ruin a man’s reputation,” they’d pick one that people actually give a shit about, like hurting a dog or something.

Labeled that as misogynoir before they could finish responding. Try again.

I’m gonna make a general comment here: every person who comes into a Black woman’s mentions to say she doesn’t know her intellectual place thinks that race and gender has nothing to do with it. BUT: The decision not to consider how Black women are targeted before commenting is itself misogynoir.

And just like that, grief hits. Grief from my father, not being alive to see me grow and achieve, and grief from my mother who I’ve been grieving since I was seven because addiction is more powerful than the love of a child.

Quick story— i had a bluesky account during the invites phase but only logged in once— came back in 2024 and stayed solely and only because of Blacksky. My decades long research drove me to volunteer to see what was possible, I had never been interested in the open social web prior.
