Blacksky is a social network. It is developed and maintained by Blacksky Algorithms. The project provides curated feeds and moderation tools to support Blacksocial media users, many of whom previously used Black Twitter.[2]
Blacksky runs an alternative implementation of Bluesky's AT Protocol using a self-built stack in the Rust programming language named "rsky",[3] and is optionally independent from (but interoperates with) the infrastructure run by Bluesky and other hosts on the protocol's network. Technologist Rudy Fraser started the project in 2021 and launched it in 2023.[4][5][6][7] As of 2024, it was operated by a team of six moderators.[8][9][10][11][12][13]
