Rudy Fraser - BlackSky - Next Generation of Social Media

This week we're talking to Rudy Fraser, the developer behind BlackSky, a community he carved out of BlueSky. Using custom feeds, labelers and everything the platform has to offer, BlackSky offers a safe space for Black communities to share their stories and connect. In the process he's dealt with funding, scaling, and building out his own tools on top of ATProto, the tech behind BlueSky. https://www.blackskyweb.xyz/ https://github.com/blacksky-algorithms/rsky https://blog.rudyfraser.com/blob-post/ https://github.com/rudyfraser Episode sponsored By MUX (https://mux.com) Become a paid subscriber our patreon, spotify, or apple podcasts for the full episode. https://www.patreon.com/devtoolsfm https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/devtoolsfm/subscribe https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/devtools-fm/id1566647758 https://www.youtube.com/@devtoolsfm/membership
