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.

Rudy Fraser x Blacksky Algorithms: The Architecture of Sovereign Communities | Episode 18
Sovereignty is not an aesthetic. It is infrastructure.” In a digital landscape defined by extraction and surveillance, true autonomy requires owning the platform, not just the profile. In Episode 18, we sit down with Rudy Fraser, founder of Blacksky Algorithms, to dismantle the current state of the internet. We discuss the creation of sovereign internet communities and the unique challenges faced by Black leaders in tech. This is not just about coding; it is about the “praxis of autonomy”—building open-source, community-driven platforms that prioritize privacy over profit.
