Build communities. Not lock-in.

Your account should belong to you. Radical, apparently.

Nobody asked for another social network. They asked for ownership. Ownership of their account. Ownership of their identity. Ownership of their data. Social media is just the interface. The real product is control.

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

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

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.

Protocols > platforms.

Owning your identity online should be normal.

Your follows and posts should move with you. That’s the point of AT Protocol. We’re helping people migrate. Come as you are. 🌿

Dark mode is coming to @leafplaza.eu. Almost there. Even Batman would approve.

LeafPlaza OÜ is registered in Estonia. EU company, EU law, EU infrastructure. Not a US company with a GDPR checkbox. Actually European.

EU infrastructure isn’t a limitation. It’s a guarantee. One thing I kept coming back to is how little clarity there is around where our social data actually lives, and which laws apply to it. With @leafplaza.eu, we wanted to make that explicit. Available worldwide. Your data stays under EU law.

LeafPlaza is live. If you’re reading this, you’re early. Welcome. 🌿
