Northsky Social Cooperative is creating a safer social media experience for 2SLGBTQIA+ people, powered by ATProtocol, and operating as a nonprofit, worker-owned cooperative.

The worker cooperative states:

We’re excited to announce NorthSky Social Cooperative where we are building a new ATproto platform for the benefit of marginalized communities that prioritizes the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. After increasing hostility toward these communities we are taking action to provide a platform built by and for us.

They go on to say:

A shift towards federation has enabled the survival of marginalized communities and @bsky.app which developed the AT Protocol has created a foundation for us to build Northsky Social on top of. As such we will be fully compatible with @bsky.app where users will be able to communicate across the federated ATproto space.

    Looking at the site just raises alarm bells tbh. A generic (nice looking though) landing page with a sign up form targeting queer folks and the only share links are for platforms that have policies in place to explicitly allow harassment for queer folks?

    Meanwhile the faq mentions that theres no “meet the team” page for privacy reasons?

    Idk folks, there’s just a lot of weird choices here. The lack of member transparency is a major one.
