Phase one is to create a PDS that securely hosts data in Canada, away from political persecution of 2SLGBTQIA+.
Phase two and beyond will include our own AppView and improved moderation tools.
These networks will exist side by side with bluesky and allow interaction per usual. Source
Bluesky is actually pretty good, but the biggest issue currently is that there’s too much power centralized in the hands of Bluesky PBLLC. The less we have to rely on Bluesky PBLLC while still having full functionality, the better.
Also, Northsky is planning on launching it’s own AppView, meaning posts that would normally be hidden on Bluesky could still be available from Northsky’s client.
