🌍 Social media made in Europe

A friendly reminder that Instagram DMs can no longer be end-to-end encrypted.

I think that big tech social media platforms forget what it's all about, like people just want to see the post from people they follow. Maybe it's a good time to join alternative social networks. 🤔

If you're new to Monnett and haven't seen this little handy button on your Home page I think YOU'LL LOVE IT! It allows you to switch between two layout options—feed & gird—and makes catching up with everything so much easier. You're not on Monnett, yet? I hope you're ready to make the switch now 🌸

🌈 See your friends again

Relying on foreign-owned platforms, Margrethe Vestager said, left the continent exposed—vulnerable to decisions made far away, data practices that ignored European rules, and influence that could shape elections, public debate, and civil society without any real local control.

Thank you Gcore for organising the community event in Luxembourg. It was a most interesting debate on whether Europe is ready for its own sovereign infrastructure. One conclusion we'd like to draw from this evening is that "we need European companies supporting each other." 📸 Anna Smaruj

If you're tired with all the new updates Instagram pushes onto you instead of showing you your friends, maybe it's time to looks for a new platform? I have some ideas! 👇🏼 🔗 monnett.social/blog/5-alter...

If your email address ends with @proton.me or @pm.me it means you care about your privacy. If you'd like to extend that privacy to the social networks you're on, come join us on Monnett.

hot take: a social network with a chronological order ✨

“In 2025, almost 70% of Europeans said they were using social media platforms. These tools play an important role in our society and in our private lives. Shaping the way we think, perceive and interact with each other.

🇪🇺 Europe's digital independence is building social networks where opinions aren't dictated by foreign algorithms.

"C'est vraiment important pour nous que ce ne soit pas un algorithme qui détermine ce qui s'affiche sur votre écran, mais vous-même" f24.my/BuaM

I think a great way to celebrate Europe Day is to join a social network made in Europe! 🇪🇺🌸

Happy Europe Day! 🇪🇺💗 To unity!

In 2006 you were on Facebook. In 2016 you were on Instagram. In 2026 you should be on Monnett.

When's a good time to leave Big Tech behind? I'd say NOW. Check out what European alternatives are out there. 👇🏼

In 2019 Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that "your private communications should be secure." Yet today, Meta is rolling back E2EE for direct messages on IG. "By switching off E2EE, Instagram will now be able to access all the content of direct messages, including images, videos and voice notes."

Happy End to End-to-end Encryption on Instagram Day

That’s today, bye, bye privacy… 👋🏼

"When a platform’s revenue depends on a user paying a recurring fee, its incentives shift. The goal is no longer to maximize time-on-platform at any cost, rather, it is to provide enough genuine value that the person chooses to renew." 📖 Read more: monnett.social/social-media...

Europe finally wants its own social media. People should see chronologically what is being shared and there shouldn’t be an algorithm manipulating public opinion and what gets put front and centre. 👀 Watch more: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpx_... 📹 Video: @eumadesimple.bsky.social
