#MySpace, and #BlackPlanet completely put me on to #HTML and #CSS. When I tell y'all I had the dopest layouts with music, editing every single iota of the page. OMG I miss those days. My custom layouts were dope af.

They really were awesome. We had #design wars. It led me to #graphicdesign.

Happy anniversary to The Sisters of Mercy’s debut album, ‘First and Last and Always’. Released this week in 1985. #thesistersofmercy #firstandlastandalways #walkaway #notimetocry #blackplanet

The 92% follow me on this. When these men start making sense and calling out the misogynoir then I feel compelled to platform them. I wish we had BlackPlanet to go deeper but.... #Blacksky #BlackPeople #BlackPlanet

Post: #socialmediacollaboration #blacksocialmedia #blaqsbi #blackplanet #spill #fanbase #socialmediacollaboration #blacksocialmedia #blaqsbi #blackplanet #spill #fanbase Everybody is looking for a place to belong. But what happens when the ground we stand on isn't truly ours ? I bet you didn't know just how much our stories shaped the world. While we're kept on the sidelines in a world overflowing with information, it's easy for our stories to get buried and drowned out by algorithms, design signed to keep us invisible. We've been shadow, banned, censored and filtered out, not because our voices aren't worthy, but because platforms profit more when we're kept in the margins. Yet every trend they chase, every movement that goes viral. So much of it traces back to us. Our culture isn't just borrowed, it's the bedrock of what's cool, what's new, what's next. But too often we're left out of the spotlight while others cash in on our brilliance. We're done. Done building empires we don't control on borrowed ground. Done, letting the narrative be twisted by platforms that were never built for us. It's our turn to own the narrative and have a space where social media sites like Black SBE, Fanbase, BlackPlanet and Spill amplify each other, and a place where our voices aren't policed but celebrated. This is our moment to stand up, unite, collaborate with each other and shine bright like the morning sun across the globe. Let's stop letting others control the mic, our digital power and economic future. Let's start owning our narrative, speaking our truth, and taking control of our destiny together. We owe it to ourselves and future generations to overcome the game of divide and conquer that's been played against us far too long. Join us today ! Let's connect, unite, support each other and build, share, believe, inspire, Black SBE.

Exactly. This site is not algorithm driven. You have to do the work. LIKE THE OLD DAYS. #blackplanet

Hey y'all, did you know #BlackPlanet is still around? I wonder if that would be a good place to join again. I think I was on it long ago and it was like Myspace, unless I'm confused. I'm definitely going to check it out. I want to have an alternative to Facebook. blackplanet.com

Does anyone remember #Collegecrib or #blackplanet? Bring #MySpace back

I posted earlier and tagged it #Blackplanet instead of #Blacksky.

Anyone around from the last days of BP when Relationships >> General was the only active sub? That crazy, unhinged, wack ass rapper ‘U Thant’ dude, Yella, Saja, the chicks from Baltimore and Chicago, the conference calls….

Who redo yall remember the original black twitter Blackplanet.com #blackplanet #blackskyover30

What's up, #BlackSky?! From #BlackPlanet to #BlackSky. We movin' on up, y'all! Lol #AddToBlackSky

How Fanfix and Passes are altering the creator-fan bond - Fast Company Sites like Fanfix and Passes are monetizing the creator–fan relationship on a more micro level than mainstream social media ever has before

In other Fast Company News
Looks like there’s BIG BUSINESS in CarpeDM

I wonder how @jay.bsky.team is going to handle monetization of parasocial relationships on @bsky.app ?

@rudyfraser.com do you see a #blackplanet coming to BlackSky Algorithms?
