Blacksky is the foremost example. They run Blacksky.community, which reads like a Bluesky client re-skin. However, Blacksky is going well beyond it behind the scenes: they have their own moderation and T&S team; their own rules about which accounts to keep around, ban, or relay; their own growing parallel stack (which will be great for general resilience); and are even building products for their community like Blacksky Cash.
