Hello ☁️! ICYMI the European Commission has updated its website footer and replaced the Bluesky logo with a W - for W Social. Unfortunately right now the link doesn't work as intended and redirects to the W homepage (yikes). All my deep dives about #WSocial: 🍿 blog.elenarossini.com/tag/w-social/

RE: https://legal.social/@malteengeler/116794978290405811 TIL One of the advisory board of Wsocial is a co-founder of Worldcoin. Remember, the cryptocurrency that wanted to scan everyone’s eyeballs?

There is no perfect platform, perfect decision, perfect nothing. What we ask is transparency: how was this decision taken? What criteria? Was there any procurement process? We ask the @ec.europa.eu to reply to our complaint.

Build communities. Not lock-in.

This is our blog article explaining why @leafplaza.eu filed a complaint against the @ec.europa.eu after their public endorsement of @wsocial.eu and missing transparency in the process. We hope @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu takes this matter seriously. leafplaza.leaflet.pub/3moxlxlfl2s2a

Happy to have you onboard 🫡

Your account should belong to you. Radical, apparently.

OSS maintainers who give you software for free are allowed to use any tool they want (and generally run things the way they prefer); unless you're literally paying their salaries, you don't get a say in the matter.

Request to: The Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information All documents, papers, communications and other information received by your Authority or Ms. Specht-Riemenschneider in her capacity as Advisory Board Member of W Social. fragdenstaat.de/a/372933

Welcome onboard @colemancorrigan.app.leafplaza.eu - happy to have you with us🫡

@leafplaza.eu just presented an official complain. Also, setup a whole chain of official follow ups on this complain. We know our rights, no other European ATP project has been giving the advantage W Social received and that goes against Commission Decision (EU) 2024/3083 - Art. 4.

We should make a slogan out of this.

We though the @leafplaza.eu onboarding was convoluted 😅

So I've been trying to understand the legal structure that W Social has to better understand the separation between W Identity and W Social, and it's quickly looking like it's all for show.

It looks like W Identity, the part of @wsocial.eu that checks your papers before you go in, has a very basic XSS on its admin backend, found hours after launch. This seems almost too predictable... Cyberfriends, any thoughts on how bad? 23.social/@kantorkel/1...

Na Eurosky en W is Leafplaza het derde initiatief met als doel een volledig in Europa gevestigd met Bluesky compatibel alternatief voor alle social media technologie te bieden. - @leafplaza.eu - @eurosky.social - @wsocial.eu Overzicht (van Leafplaza) met de huidige stand van zaken.

We are self funded and care about the loads of our clients. That’s why only LP users can login. Down the road when we are self sustainable we will consider opening it to accounts in European PDSs. LP users on the other hand can login whenever they want with their accounts.

It is not "15 minutes". But yeah, it is very fast, there are plenty of other advantages, and that's why @leafplaza.eu is incorporated in Estonia.

Welcome onboard, @juergen.app.leafplaza.eu 🫡

Our website is getting an overhaul. No disruption is expected, but changes here and there will be visible for the next couple of days. In the meanwhile, why not check our Transparency Page? If something is wrong or off, ping us. That's the whole point of that page! www.leafplaza.eu/transparency/

The EU has 3 choices: accept staying behind forever, negotiate access, or build its own frontier-model ecosystem. 1 it is not acceptable. 2 we tried, rules keep changing, we remain exposed. 3 requires effort and time and the only path towards true autonomy. www.anthropic.com/news/fable-m...

Every week the internet invents a new reason for LeafPlaza to exist. This was a particularly productive week.

We made a table comparing LeafPlaza with W Social and Eurosky, so you don't have to guess.

Europe is very active on the AT Protocol: - @leafplaza.eu w/ mobile apps. Browser app forthcoming - @eurosky.social w/ browser app. Mobile apps forthcoming - @wsocial.eu beta launch on 17 June Now perhaps a good time to re-read this article by @elenarossini.com blog.elenarossini.com/w-social-unc...

@leafplaza.eu was at the #europcom today, but we could not ask any question. So we ask the questions we had for @anna.wsocial.eu and @wsocial.eu here 👇

The best time to think about digital sovereignty is before you need it.

Prudencia.ai apunta a 1,5 millones de ARR en solo 11 meses sin levantar capital

We use several @infomaniak.bsky.social services at @leafplaza.eu and we love them all.

TelemetryDeck initially WILL be available in the EU because we're working hard to preserve our users' privacy.

Honestly wondering why the EU does not back similar projects. We have small streets and need independence from fossil fuels. Seems like a no brainer.

Ależ proszę: @leafplaza.eu

The EU needs to decide how Social Media looks like in the future. Do we make a Silicon Valley clone in blue with yellow stars? Or do we bet for open protocols & interoperability?

We just launched new versions of LeafPlaza to the app stores. Please have a look!

It is a bit of strange that Bluesky moderation considers this something that needs to be moderated. This is why we need European moderation here. It is in our vision, hopefully we can get there with your support.

The ICC learning lessons on tech sovereignty the hard way

We are now listed under apps.eu! www.apps.eu/products/lea...

It is quite simple to understand If something is somewhat *legally* tied to a US company or individual, it's a subject to the US Cloud Act, hence not sovereign So even if there is a technical barrier, the association of Google to this project makes it non-sovereign www.reuters.com/business/aer...

We write about the shortcomings of Eurosky and W Social in terms of true sovereignty.

I'm greeting you from @leafplaza.eu servers now. Migrating via MOOver really is straightforward and fast. 10/10 Though, I do recommend not misspelling your E-Mail-Address in the process.

Welcome onboard @eriksauer.de 🫡

Dear Mr. Hamil, Please have a look at my profile and at my handle in particular. I am on #bluesky via a European server called #LeafPlaza. This server is protected by European rules and law. You might want to consider switching the server … @markhamillofficial.bsky.social

If a Jedi gets censored, imagine the average European with their data in the US.

It’s good to be on the European side of #bluesky 🇪🇺. Seriously! Please read this and share … #socialmedia #eu #europe #bigtechusa @palle.bsky.social

Here are some thoughts we have at LeafPlaza about Attie, Bluesky's AI project.

Here at @leafplaza.eu we agree with you both, but with a European flavor.

@leafplaza.eu applied to the Open Social Awards, wish us luck 🤓

Should we shut down the servers and switch business to make DRAM?

Someone just started using LeafPlaza and their first post was night photography from Tokyo. Feels like it’s less about where you are, more about where your data lives.

DENMARK AND FRANCE 🇩🇰🇫🇷 bans all Microsoft products from all public offices. The phaseout is expected to be completed before autumn 2026. Their products are being replaced with customer versions of Linux and LibreOffice. This is digital sovereignty being taken back
