We're wrapping up testing of a fix for the following: - Unable to mention users - New logins failing as cannot fetch preferences Search will not be addressed as it is an upstream issue with Blacksky.

Update: We are finishing up testing of a fix, Search will not be addressed as it is not functioning for Blacksky. A fix will be deployed to address: - Unable to mention users - Logging in with a new account fails as app cannot fetch preferences

We're aware of issues with mentioning people and search on the northsky app, we're working on a fix for it.

But it was at the cost of slower processing of the wait list for the sake of making sure we had the things that caring for a community requires.

Evelyn @evelyn.northsky.team · 26/07/2026
Which has allowed us to process the wait list much faster. At the same time the PDS is the "easy part", guidelines and moderation took time and we promoted our labeler from alpha to operational a couple months and our moderation team reacts to reports quickly. We are absolutely moving faster

We vet the wait list to confirm users meet the community guidelines to the best of our abilities, this was a rather intensive process that we've improved quite a bit and was being done but effectively one person who had other duties. We've improved the process and been onboarding volunteers

We're working on one, we did a soft reboot of the codebase last month as the way we forked it became untenable. It will have the right things in place

no argument there, unfortunately the majority of the user base still uses bluesky social apps which don't display it :/

BREAKING: the Massachusetts House just passed one of the best data privacy bills in the country. It includes a total ban on the sale of precise location data and includes a private right of action allowing people to sue Big Tech over data abuses. HUGE WIN! But there’s more work to do 🧵

What I would really love is proper coverage and discussion around issues outside Europe/USA. I only see mention when X country legalizes things and never when things are happening. Like Ghana just passed aN anti-LGBT bill but that news is drowned out by a hyper focus on America/UK.

You can always appeal a label directly, the moderation team will review the appeal and act accordingly but we don't disclose the process for safety reasons.

I don't want to make a decision on behalf of the coop :) we can adjust things so those people can see who is "speaking on behalf of" Northsky through our media presence. In general we're recognized through that work and outsiders contact us via the website for inquiries

Evelyn @evelyn.northsky.team · 31/05/2026
It's not necessary to make it official as all it really serves is to become a focal point for any negative sentiment, we've already seen this with people combing through directors personal accounts to find things they disagree with. This doesn't prevent me or others from hoping into discussions

Evelyn @evelyn.northsky.team · 31/05/2026
I think you're putting a bit too much focus on the faceless aspect of Northsky, If you look through the northsky account feed you'll see posts from me and Lucca and call outs to events I've spoken at (most recently a livestream).

Evelyn @evelyn.northsky.team · 31/05/2026
If only I'm featured it creates a false impression of my role when there's multiple directors, volunteers, and members. You raise a valid point as many of us are public about what we do in different avenues (i.e meetups/talks) so we could increase that visibility

Evelyn @evelyn.northsky.team · 31/05/2026
We prioritize privacy as targeting is a real risk for us, especially with the directors who are publicly registered with the cooperative and we're all some shape of marginalized, I'm just comfortable doing the public side as I'm already out here.

hey everyone wanna see what a manufactured hate campaign is shaped like???
google trends analysis on the search topic "transgender" in the u.s., over the past five years 

flat line from may 1, 2021 to feb 1, 2023, when it rockets straight up to near 100 then bounces up & down to date, staying between 50 & 100 the whole time google trends analysis on the search topic "transgender" in the u.k., over the last 5 years

flat line from may 1, 2021 to feb 1, 2023, when it rockets straight up to near 35-40, quickly tends up to 50 and bounces around there for the remainder except for a massive spike to 100 in april 2025

Northsky is a social cooperative, there is no concept of admin with total power. There are directors but the members vote makes the decision. So if one were on a discord that is not part of Northsky with people who were later on Northsky, it wouldn't have any influence on how Northsky operates.
