🚨It's high time to strip Meta, TikTok, etc off their privileges! 🚨 On September 16, Ursula von der Leyen must not demand #AgeVerification from social media, but force them to change for good! Otherwise, Big Tech bosses will decide votes, not the people. Our opinion: 👉 tuta.com/blog/eu-chan...

More than 10k followers on Bluesky! 🎉💪 What a great community ❤️ Connected to our latest post on how to turn off Gemini?!

Even as @wsocial.eu onboards more and more users, they can’t seem to get them to talk to each other 🤐 This atrocious engagement rate (~9%) for users on the W PDS has been steady as a rock since day 1 (here you can see it in the daily totals and percentages). #WhosThereSocial

Elena Rossini ⁂@elenarossini.com

How is this possible? #WSocial hosts 26k accounts but only 5.4k have provided ID verification (and thus can post). Of those, only 2450 people (as of this AM) have EVER published a SINGLE post or reply. By comparison, on Eurosky (26k accounts) EVERYONE can post. No ID required #WSocialPics

The truth about #WSocial - in pics 📊 Yesterday I noticed some W Social MEGA fans cheering because the PDS officially surpassed Eurosky for the number of accounts they are hosting. Open data shows a DIFFERENT reality: while Eurosky has lively activity, W Social has scant interactions. #WSocialPics

Thread #1 60 minutes of events on the #Eurosky vs #Wsocial PDS. Monitored between 3:10PM and 4:10PM CET EuroSky is not 29 times larger. During this hour, its equally sized user base was 29 times more active—and dramatically more inclined to like and amplify content.

Interesting approach by the @ec.europa.eu to just ignore their own scientific service (JRC), which only 8w ago explicitly recommended to support @eurosky.social in this paper: https://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/handle/JRC144603

European Commission@ec.europa.eu

We have now joined W, a new European social media network. We’re present on 15+ platforms, and are especially happy to join one based in Europe and with the ambition to foster open and safer online conversations. Keep the conversation going - whether from W, Bluesky or other compatible apps.

Europe needs an AI strategy from the ground up—not just driven by big corporations! 🤖 We must support open-source and decentralized innovation. 💡 AI should belong to everyone, not just Big Tech. It's time to take control of our own future! #AI #Art #NFT #AIForGood #Europe #Innovation #impactArt

Now that they have joined Euro-Office I cannot wait to try @tuta.com Drive with office integration 😊

I've just done the same.

I just set up a monthly €10 donation to @eurosky.social. If you’re not paying for the product, you are the product. 1,000 of us donating €10/month could make EU-based social network infrastructure sustainable. Join me: fund.eurosky.tech #DigitalSovereignty

Progress update on what we're building. There's a lot happening and we'll have big updates in the coming weeks. Your contributions are making this possible. There's more to do and all your support really helps 💙

Signing into the Atmosphere is a bit of a lottery. This is a user problem. But it's also a builder problem. The Atmosphere needs a brand identify, a design system, tools for builders to drive broad dev and user adoption. wecanjustdothings.leaflet.pub/3mlv5oijn5s2q #ATmosphere 🌀 #ATproto 🪿

wecanjustdothings.leaflet.pubThe Atmosphere needs a front door - We Can Just Do ThingsThe Atmosphere needs a distinct brand identify, better tools for builders, a new UX for users, and a small empowered group willing to build it all.

If we’re gonna have login with Atmosphere, do we not need an Atmosphere logo? @renderg.host

For the people in the back, if you made a Mastodon account a couple years ago and want to move to Bluesky, giving you access to the whole Atmosphere, you can migrate and *bring everything with you*. 1/🧵

A New Social@anew.social

Today, we're launching the ability to Bounce from Mastodon to any Atmosphere PDS you have access to, whether it be @blackskyweb.xyz, @eurosky.social, @transrights.northsky.social, @selfhosted.social, or even your self-hosted option! You can also bring an invite code when necessary 🎟️ 1/

If I had an ad supported client for #Eurosky I would use it. The reason is that we - as in European entrepreneurs and businesses - need European digital advertisement channels. I refuse to fork over my ad spend to American platforms. But I have no European alternatives. Ping @eurosky.social

Building an online profile (or a few) with your work, activities & what others say about you = very useful: others know who they're talking to, whether to trust what you share, whether to collab. That's what we're building. Tying it to a government ID though? BIG Nope 😬 Read why that's very bad 👇

Proton@proton.me

Age verification sounds reasonable until you realize it means every adult hands over their ID just to go online. We wrote about why this is a terrible idea and what should happen instead. https://proton.me/blog/keep-age-verification-from-killing-anonymity-online
