Tell us what you think of our new Discussions feature and what you want to see from it next

assembly.blacksky.communityTell us what you think of our new Discussions feature and what you want to see from it next1. I love it! Can already think of a few ways I want to use it • 2. I prefer a more simple poll 3. It would be cool to use Discussions to have people vote on different images (outfits, pop culture references, etc) 4. There's more I want to see from Discussions [submit a seed statement to let us know!]

at a time where social media platforms encourage more performative and one-sided sharing than ever, we're excited to be launching features for more generative, participatory, and fun conversations. looking forward to everyone's feedback and to seeing what Discussions come 💬💜

Blacksky Algorithms@blackskyweb.xyz

Introducing Discussions - a new way to have conversations on Blacksky 🗣️ Now you can create a dynamic poll right from the post composer in the app to ask questions, get feedback, or to build community around any and every topic you find interesting.

Discussion example: Who was the villain in The Wire?

And on the night of the elections, we're also planning to partner with folks like @blackskyweb.xyz to make it so you can personalize your feed within the appview so you don't even have to jump off-site to follow the news.

if you're on #blacksky or a @blackskyweb.xyz product on ACORN (which @medsky.network is!):

you have the special opportunity to deprive racist moneygrubbers from oxygen by reporting them!

@moderation.blacksky.app will label their post and stop it from showing up on others' feeds too 🥰

REPORT!

A screenshot taken from @moderation.blacksky.app It shows a close-up of a label selection for "White Supremacy or Antiblack Rhetoric". The description reads: "Content that expresses statements that are rooted in white supremacy and anti-black rhetoric that does not fall under targeted anti-black harassment.This may include interalized anti-blackness that is harmful in nature." The filter is set to HIDE any posts of this nature.A screenshot taken from @moderation.blacksky.app It shows a close-up of a label selection for "Misogynoir" and "Antiblack Harassment".

That’s So Giaaa💕@ellasj0y.blacksky.app

Black rage is so profitable… especially on this social media landscape. The views, engagement, trending…. Just block and move on!! Do NOT engage disrespect… too close to begging for me!

@blackskyweb.xyz's account onboarding for new accounts is so nice.

I missed the pictures but the very first slide was on the community labeler and guidlines. They do a great job highlighting other apps on the Atmosphere and that their account works everywhere, default For You feed as well

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

patriarchal ideology runs so deep in our culture that it'd be a mistake to make this just a conversation about 'bad men'. it's about the domination and denial of bodily autonomy that structure daily life (also via transphobia, genocide, carcerality, labor exploitation, etc) and needs to end.

@marisa.blacksky.team

we're reproducing mini corporations in every one of us via a culture that does not want us to see each other as full human beings with agency but instead see us as capital sees us - as bodies to be optimized, exploited, conquered.

@marisa.blacksky.team

at a societal level we have so deeply normalized hegemonic masculinity. the aspirations to be "rational" and unfeeling. to be uncompromising. to give our bodies/ creativity to work above all else. to be 'autonomous', which in practice looks/feels like isolation and individualism.

@marisa.blacksky.team

for example, it’s easy to isolate the issue to fraternities as hubs of entitled, reckless masculinity - but what about tech companies? finance firms? even, leftist organizing spaces? patriarchal logic and power challenge bodily autonomy across all of these spaces - and abuse is prevalent.

@marisa.blacksky.team

re; the discourse around Cornell 7 - it would be nice if instances like this opened space for broader discussions about patriarchy and violation of bodily autonomy at a systemic level. beyond "educate your sons", "believe women" - how patriarchal violence is so nuanced and takes many forms.
