What is Blacksky Algorithms?
Every online community should control its own destiny. We’re building the intercommunal net where communities can use decentralized tools to govern themselves, pool resources, and stay safe on their own terms.
Safe Spaces, Your Way
Build communities where people actually want to hang out. Set your own rules, moderate content together, and create spaces that work for your community.
Fund Things Together
Pool money for what matters to your community. Whether it’s covering server costs, paying creators, or funding local projects.
Decide Together
Make decisions as a community, not as subjects of a platform. Vote on changes, allocate resources democratically, and govern your space with decentralized tools built for collective decision-making.
