a lot of niggas think all the positive press about Black Threads is organic instead of a response to Meta being found liable for harming children, many of whom are Black. #Blacksky

Another platform where Black folks and the sauce they bring are exploited, until they yet again become digital refugees fleeing from harassment and violence because of the lack of access to safety tools that prioritize them. Black folks deserve a culture of digital safety. It’s time for change.

A lot of folks either forgot or refuse to acknowledge a major reason Black and Brown folks have survived in the US is because of mutual aid. People are so consumed with not appearing poor that they are dismissing the tools that got us here.

My new blog post looks at how adult content shows up on Blacksky and the options we're considering to make it a more consensual experience. We'd love for every community member to read it, think it over, and share their perspective. Let's build a bridge between self-expression and consent together.

Your Body, Your Feed – Creating a bridge between consent and self-expression
Recently, we’ve seen an increase in discussion around how adult content currently shows up on our platform. By adult content, we mean content that is usually labeled as pornography, non-sexual nudity, or sexually suggestive content. Labeling adult content (both text- and image-based) is an example of how we empower community members to share more of themselves with folks, without creating a non-consensual experience for other members that do not wish to engage with adult content.  To solve this, we want to present you with options and invite you, as a member of our community, to decide how adult content shows up on Blacksky.

I think a lot about how every white person that said what Blacksky is doing wasn’t possible was wrong. And they still refuse to admit that. But the expectation is that we should still listen to them in terms of what is possible. I know. It doesn’t make sense to me either.
