Yeah I'm kinda waiting for this. I don't like to join bluesky because I want it more decentralised but I can't join blacksky because it's only for black people.

I'm kinda hoping someone sets up a rainbowsky or something for us in the LGBT community. Now that I would join.

Blacksky is not only for Black people. They’re only reserving the blacksky.social domain handles for them, everyone else who wants to have a Blacksky account can use the myatproto.social domain.
https://northskysocial.com/ might work for you!

You can have an account on Northsky and use it with Blacksky's appview!

Oh thanks! I wish they'd have their own appview but I guess that might take time.

I'll definitely try it out!

NP! And yep, their own appview is a WIP. You can read more about their future plans here if interested: https://northskysocial.com/posts/beginning-phase-2-of-norths...

Theres also front ends that avoid using an appview at all if that sounds preferable to relying on an appview not run by your PDS host: https://tangled.org/whey.party/red-dwarf

The blacksky servers also host myatproto and crypto anarchy PDS's, which are open to anyone
The obvious question is, which group gets dibs on "redsky?"
I hope it's shepherds
