Thrilled that Aster.id has launched, and very happy for the Modal Foundation to be supporting in an incubation role. modalfoundation.leaflet.pub/3mwqgvxl5a22a

Aster ID@aster.id

The modern research ecosystem of online tools and communities is controlled by for-profit companies. But we think that researchers should be the priority - not the product. So, we're announcing Aster ID: not-for-profit Atmosphere account hosting for researchers.

Here for the launch of the European Social Stack: “We [are moving] away from large monopolistic platforms with their authoritarian governance and editorial positions, and are joining forces to establish a diverse and resilient information infrastructure in Europe.” #pubconf2026 european.social

My @re-publica.com talk is available now (it’s in German but you can turn on english subtitles). It’s making a case for running parts of the #ATProto stack as public infrastructure and shows where we can build bridges to the #fediverse - plus I’m showing people the variety of the ecosystem.

This has been Google's game for years, since well before LLMs. They treat any independent source of information as a bug which needs crushing. Want a solution that's better than just hoping that everyone just switches (which is hard)? I've got you covered: ftw.fund.

ftw.fundFunding The Web: A Wise ChoiceThe Web is slow-motion collapsing for multiple reasons, but at the heart of it all is a little known system: the Search/Browser Levy. Let's fix it!
TechCrunch@techcrunch.com

Google is transforming Search from a list of links into an AI-powered experience filled with conversational answers, autonomous agents, and interactive interfaces — a shift that could further reduce traffic to publishers across the web.

Lutter contre les ingérences étrangères en postant sur X c'est comme lutter contre la malbouffe en déjeunant au McDo. Et à quoi bon marquer des points devant un public de bots? Avec @nicolashenin.net, dont c'est l'initiative, nous invitons le gouvernement à une approche plus stratégique.

Nicolas Hénin@nicolashenin.net

À quoi bon faire la chasse au mensonge si l'on continue de légitimer, en l'utilisant, l'une des plateformes les plus toxiques d'internet ? Je signe avec @robin.berjon.com cette tribune dans Le Monde qui appelle le gouvernement à réduire sa dépendance aux grandes plateformes pour sa communication.

What happens if Trump hits the “kill switch” and blocks Europe from American tech? No Amazon or PayPal. Netflix and YouTube blocked. The building blocks of our lives: inaccessible. But what was once an outlandish question is now less hypothetical. Today's Big Read is on #FTEdit 👉 ft.trib.al/mk8Sop4

This wild document is the basis for the State Department's decision to cancel the visas and green cards of tech researchers who study the social media platforms and of tech regulators who enforce privacy and transparency laws. Disclosed to us last night in @thecoalition.bsky.social v. Rubio.

Yesterday Bluesky went down. @eurosky.social servers worked but we couldn't communicate as we don't have an app. Our next step is to build everything we need to operate without Bluesky. We're raising €100,000 to build a European app backend supporting 100k+ users. Let's do this fund.eurosky.tech

Some personal news: I've signed a contract for a book! It's called REGIME CHANGE and it's published with Princeton University Press. More details as they become available.

If you're invested in decentralizing and diversifying products and services built on #ATProtocol, supporting @graze.social, @skyfeed.app and @blueskyfeedcreator.com is where to put your funds today.

Graze Social@graze.social

Folks have been reaching out about how to support Graze beyond our core product. We think that support needs to go beyond Graze. That's why we've teamed up with our direct competitors @skyfeed.app and @blueskyfeedcreator.com to jointly support all our work:

What may be the most heartening part of #AtmosphereConf, besides the community, is that it's a *technical* conference at which people present on politics, authoritarianism, epistemic challenges (in the opening keynote!). Because, for technologists, *that's* the job.

The dream of decentralization is power over your social media experience. Our friends at @modalfoundation.eurosky.social, working to take ATP to the next level, put it this way: "No single company controls identity, content, or algorithms; AT Protocol is open, interoperable, and un-buyable."
