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.

Due to this, we sought out to create a solution, at least in the digital space, specifically for Blacksky.
Meet The MozFest Main Stage: Pushing Through The Concrete
The people on this stage are already showing us what different technological futures can look like: a social network built around Black community governance, civic technology designed for crisis response, tools for ocean and climate resilience, infrastructure shaped by communities rather than platforms, and research exposing where dominant systems fail. These are our pollinators; builders, researchers, and organizers testing alternatives in the real world and asking what it would take for them to become the norm rather than the exception.
