From the @transrights.northsky.social team, @lucca.northsky.team asks for interest in a community maintained fork of the bsky social app for testing and collab. Write up in the forum, leave a comment if you’re interested.

just a reminder that I thoroughly support @rude1.blacksky.team and @lucca.northsky.team in their respective governances, and that @bsky.app are increasingly looking not so great.

Our latest Newsletter just went out, and if you're not signed up yet, you can read it here: northskysocial.com/posts/norths... We cover a first draft of our Community Guidelines, as well as our communications policy as a cooperative, and a progress update on alpha testing migrations.

Everyone excited for Northsky say "Thank you @ripperoni.com!!!

yet another test post!

testing, 1 2 3!

We've been getting questions about, "is Northsky for people who aren't 2SLGBTQIA+ as well?" The answer is YES! You just have to be chill and respectful of 2SLGBTQIA+ people and other minority groups. If this describes you, there's a lower-priority queue you can join here: northskysocial.com/allies

can't reply so qrp-ing: this is definitely concerning, given it appears from the screenshot they're using blacksky's app too. either, it's an app level ban but Blacksky is still using bluesky's "appview" backend (the most likely case), or there's something broken with bluesky moderation 🤨

A big step closer to being ready to start inviting users from our waitlist!

In light of the ongoing site crisis, there's been considerable attention recently to a new appview implementation by dollspace . gay (did:plc:dzvxvsiy3maw4iarpvizsj67)

🧵: a community safety warning (or, yes, it's Laurelai Bailey again)

We are over 4000 future community members strong now! (That's how many folks have signed up for Northsky Social.) Thank you for your trust and support, and we look forward to welcoming you to safer skies soon!

We had our operational runway DOUBLE today thank to all the recurring support from the community, and a few generous one-time donors. We promise to put this money to good use in accelerating our migration efforts, and steward and save it for operational costs to keep the service running long-term!

Northsky is a separate service running on the same protocol as Bluesky and Blacksky (the ATprotocol). This means open communication between our services, but different management! You can keep your likes, follows, lists, blocks, etc... if you migrate to our service. And still talk with Bsky users.

You can support @transrights.northsky.social here, with a one time or recurring donation. We are an all volunteer team, and all the funds raised go towards our infrastructure and accelerating us taking on users!

It’s time to launch our first #Indiesky grant! Today we’re announcing a $5000 grant to @transrights.northsky.social for their account data migration tools and the migration campaign for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community they serve. atprotocol.dev/the-first-in...

no one tops my 8 any more we used to be a real country

ok y'all, i'm thinking it's time to resurrect my main account. ty for taking this little vacation with me. i appreciate all the cross-follows, and I'll keep only using 1 account to post, so I don't spam y'all with too much lucca content.

reminder: one of god's favorite women was a sex worker

what if we just took over bowen island and made tranny island?

the fun part is theyre the same button

lots of people want better things. but so many people hate Black people. the only difference I can see in these two questions is one is associated with BLM and the other is relatively neutral

this was a feature, not a bug

AUTISM ANNOUNCEMENT: I only scored 69 on the raads test, but i would lay down my life for my autistic homies and i will fight for you against this dehumanizing bullshit administration!

the disability justice community warned of eugenics since 2020 and prior. i believe its an underrated aspect of why trump won; it got people familiar with a kind of casual cruelty and earmarking undesirables for elimination

girl who's in year 8: im a boy

girl who's 11 months into transition: the nature of transness and community is such that, girl who's in year 5: goddammit you trannies are annoying

i think america would be a better place if everyone just stopped paying attention to politico til they went out of business. there’s no “autism problem” just like there’s no “trans debate.” both of those things are eugenics. both questions are really “should these subhumans be allowed to exist?”

we're smoking tylenol. i injected myself with 80 gallons of horse vaccine and it turned me into a telekinetic mutant with unfathomable psychic potential. if that pussy isn't autistic, i don't want it. this shit ain't nothing to me man

We've nearly doubled our waitlist in the last week. Thank you for the interest everyone, and our Alpha Testing efforts are well underway. We're making progress every day, and are getting closer to being ready to take on our first batch of real users.

Believe trans people when we tell you the 'science' behind the Cass Report is as solid as the 'science' behind paracetamol causing autism.

oh no i'm too big she can't fit all of me in her pds at once 😭

cute dykey woman 🫠🔥

very thankful for the PDS migration tool from Northsky (@transrights.northsky.social) @lucca.northsky.team helped me recover my lost media blobs that occurred when I transferred to blacksky, this tool makes it super simple too, thankfully I did not have a lot of media uploaded so mine was quick :p

I'll be watching and adding developer commentary in chat. Join us, it's always a good time! #ThiefII #GameDev

Certified Goodgirls™️ I'm adding daily acetaminophen to your regimen based on recent revelations. 🤭💖✨

minecraft is in retrograde. that explains it

Does he, you know, take Tylenol?

new tongue twister for spooky season: "creaming with the scream queen" say that 10x fast

the US normalizes and excuses genocide in Gaza every day, and the Trump administration is intent upon erasing trans and non-binary people from existence. sorry y'all, i don't give a shit if you don't like people mutilating an effigy of a public figure. that's protected 1st Amendment speech.

well that explains why i don't have a touch of the tism unfortunately. my mom doesn't use painkillers and delivered me at home. dammit mom! i could have had deep rich niche interests! instead, all i got was your dilettante-ass adhd!!!

How utterly unsurprising that Jesse Singal 1️⃣ lied about the findings, 2️⃣ cannot parse a very clearcut set of data in a very legible table.

JESSE SINGAL YET AGAIN DISPLAYING A CREEPY LEVEL OF INTEREST IN THE SEXUAL DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN AND SIMULTANEOUSLY BEING TRANSPHOBIC ABOUT IT! REMIND ME WHY HE'S STILL ALLOWED ON BLUESKY?! (rhetorical)

will knows what's up

Stream is on tonight, with more Thief 2: The Metal Age on twitch.tv/spookalucca at 8PM PDT!

AUTISM ANNOUNCEMENT: i painted a space marine
