About this episode
Rudy Fraser discusses the independent model of Blacksky built on the AT Protocol and its implications for community and decentralization.
Built on the AT Protocol, Blacksky isn’t tethered to the Bluesky app or team. Founder Rudy Fraser is carving out an independent, replicable model—one made possible by the openness of a decentralized web.
