I didn't apply for the role Blacksky had available recently because I didn't think I was the right fit for that particular one, but I'm pretty sure it's the tech org I was put on this planet to help.

Right now on Bluesky when reports for medical misinfo are submitted, the report has to be submitted twice in order for it to be sent to both @moderation.bsky.app and @moderation.medsky.network. It would be helpful from a T&S perspective to let people submit reports to multiple mod services at once.

Medsky Network@medsky.network

There's been an increase in posted vaccine misinformation concerning Dr. Fauci's recent US Senate hearing. We're working diligently to address reports submitted by community members. Thanks to everyone helping keep the Atmosphere safe. Subscribe to @moderation.medsky.network to submit reports.

Working on this!

We will be working on our servers again to improve user experience on Aug 13, 2026. Time of work is estimated to be from 10 am to 1 pm ET. Expect a possible sluggish experience on the mobile and web app.

We are performing repairs and maintenance on our backend server to reduce storage space. As a consequence, your notifications older than 21 days may disappear and the app performance may be impacted or slower for the next 24-48 hours

Status Update as of 8/3/2026: We have fixed the issue with the appview. You should be able to use both the web app and the public beta mobile app without any delays. Thank you all for your patience!

We are working on our appview server as we speak.

🧵 Blacksky is looking to buy a server for $30k USD. We'd like the following specs or better: - 384 GB RAM - 80 TB NVMe; ZFS RAIDZ2 in 2 vdevs - 1 Gbps + 10 Gpbs burstable - at least 84 threads for the CPU(s) - Ideally somewhere in the eastern half of North America but open to North America and EU
