We want to give a brief update on spam accounts that have been sending notifications to people. We are aware of the bug, and our current fix is to remove those accounts when reported or detected. This is an issue at the protocol level and not unique to our server.

do want to clarify that i am not an official member of the blacksky team and am just a very strong believer in @rude1.blacksky.team & @blackskyweb.xyz mission !! #blacksky is community funded so the best way to support the team is by offering a one-time or recurring donation !! 🙏

In the future we're building online communities function as digital third places. That requires independence & autonomy (rsky + blacksky.community). Hopefully also democratic decision making (assembly.blacksky.community) And soon: the opportunity for privacy preserving gift economies + mutual aid
