An interview with the solo dev behind Sektori — a must-play shooter that’s now on Switch 2
Twin-stick shooter Sektori made its debut in November of last year, immediately catching my eye. I've been something of a sucker for all-things arcade shooter ever since Geometry Wars got its hooks into me during the Xbox 360 era. Sadly though, Sektori's late 2025 debut was on everything but Nintendo. I watched from the sidelines...
Floating Up: An Interview with the creator of Bubbles.town, Benjamin Behnke

After controversy on Mastodon and 32-bit Café over his use of Anthropic's Claude to categorize blogs and bypass robots.txt signals, Ben responds about the mistake, the removal of the AI classification pipeline, a locally-trained Naive Bayes replacement, and stricter robots.txt enforcement.

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.
“No One’s Coming to Save Us. Why Communities Must Build Their Own Internet” -Rudy Fraser, Blacksky
Rudy Fraser, Founder & CEO of Blacksky Algorithms shares how Blacksky grew into the largest Black community on the decentralized web, with custom feeds used by over 2.5M people. He explains how their toolkit lets communities control algorithms, moderation, governance, and pooled funds while staying connected to a global social media ecosystem. Rudy talks about mutual aid roots, open-source development, community-written guidelines, the impact of US politics and free-speech crackdowns, and why privacy-preserving, community-run spaces are essential for Black autonomy and modern cypherpunk organizing.
Blacksky and the Future of Community with Rudy Fraser
What if your social media experience weren’t controlled by an algorithm or a corporation, but by your community? That’s the idea behind Blacksky, a decentralized project built on the AT Protocol — the same infrastructure powering Bluesky.

Artem Zakharchenko explains Mock Service Worker's network request mocking capabilities, technical evolution, and future automation features.
Could Blacksky emerge as Black Twitter’s spiritual successor on Bluesky?
What sets Blacksky apart technically is its innovative use of the AT Protocol (Authenticated Transfer Protocol), Bluesky’s decentralized social networking standard. Unlike traditional social networks, where a single company controls all user data and interactions, the AT Protocol allows users to own their identity and move their data between apps and services – similar to how email works across different providers.
