Huge congratulations to the winners of the first ever Open Social Awards @newsmastfoundation.org @blackskyweb.xyz and @sill.social

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

No lies told!

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.

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.

Ich spreche heute um 17:30 auf Stage 7 über @eurosky.social und die Chancen, die sich mit offener Infrastruktur gegen BigTech bieten. #rp26

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Hello everyone! We are undertaking a significant upgrade to Eurosky servers to be able to accommodate many more users. The Eurosky service will be offline from approximately 23:15 CEST / 22:15 GMT for about 90 minutes on Tuesday 19 May. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience.

We did an analysis of which social media apps are vulnerable to being replaced by AI. See which apps have less exposure to AI disruption, and which are, as the kids say… cooked.

15,000 of us 😊🥳

Every other week I hear from yet another European clone of some big tech social media, except with "European values" (which are conveniently never detailed). We need something different, because we can do so much better. That's why we're building Eurosky.

Well, at least I can use @eurosky.social!

MAGA has picked up on @eurosky.social - we must be doing something right 😂

Very excited to read this book, written by (among others) dear friends @natematias.bsky.social and @elleryrb.bsky.social

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.

Our jury includes @audreyt.org, @masnick.com, @laurenshof.online, @j12t.org, @melaniebartos.bsky.social, and @robin.berjon.com These awards are possible with sponsorship from @zdfde.bsky.social and @bsky.app

For anyone building new apps and tools on ATproto that are … 🌐 on the Open Web 🌱 past the prototype stage ✨ reimagining the social internet New_ Public, @publicspaces.net and @waag.org are investing up to €10,000 in alternatives to Big Tech Learn more, share, or apply by May 1st newpublic.org/OSA

Impressive: the difference between Bluesky PDS and Eurosky PDS users on Sifa is now down to just 25 users.... Will Eurosky beat Bluesky users in their first week after launch...? 😮

I try to read everything @daphnek.bsky.social writes on privacy and FoE; this looks like a good ‘un.

We're working towards full independence from Bluesky as part of our Phase 2 plan. We're striving to reach this goal as soon as possible, so future outages don't impact our users. You can help us reach this goal by making a donation:

Wednesday evening, Bluesky PDS users represented about 65% of Sifa users. Then @eurosky.social launched.... 🚀🇪🇺

I’ll be on stage with @mellifluousbox.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy at the #2mr festival in Hamburg as an #atproto representative of @eurosky.social on May 4th in case anyone wants to come! Don’t come if expect a fight though - we’re talking collaboration :) Here’s the link: https://2mr.social

Today we’re releasing Portal - a new interface for your account and what we hope will become a new home for your on the web. This is is just the start, we’ll be adding features and integrations over the coming months. Check it out and let us know what you think. portal.eurosky.tech

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

Oh no! therecord.media/russia-crack...

📆 Reminder: applications for the Open Social Awards are due May 1 Seeking MVP products on open protocols! 👉 newpublic.org/OSA

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.

What I love about this homepage is no mention of AT protocol. Even the mention of a PDS is so minimal. Agree w @pevohr.bsky.social that this is fantastic copywriting. And the new branding is so tasteful and cool. No blue/yellow 😍 👏 @eurosky.social is a product now.

The paper's title is "AI, Agency, and Protocols: Power and Governance in Open Social Networks". It grew out of a talk we gave at the AI Summit in Delhi last month. Thanks to @mallory.techpolicy.social.ap.brid.gy for pulling us together. PDF here: drive.google.com/file/d/1eMWQ...

New work! Asking who controls the infrastructure of our social lives online—and what happens as AI agents mediate Co-authored with @mallory.techpolicy.social.ap.brid.gy @thelastjosh.bsky.social sh.bsky.social Sarah Nicole and Jessica Theodule @projectliberty.io www.projectliberty.io/news/ai-agen...

New website is up! eurosky.tech Englishs only atm. German, French, Dutch, Polish, Spanish and Italian coming soon!

If anyone believes their project should run as public infrastructure - come talk to us. If you believe that running components as public infrastructure is beneficial to the ecosystem and you have institutional funds available - come talk to us. @modalfoundation.eurosky.social Please RT

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.

@modalfoundation.eurosky.social was founded for exactly these kinds of responsibilities

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:

Germ x Blacksky x Eurosky x Bluesky #AtmosphereConf ❤️ @germnetwork.com, @blackskyweb.xyz, @eurosky.social, @bsky.app

I really love how the @eurosky.social folks just absolutely understand the stakes involved and why indiesky is important. Brilliant talk. 👏🏼 @ivansigal.eurosky.social at #atmosphereconf

So @pfrazee.com is demoing a feed generation agent (Attie) and asked it to rank by hotness. Oh yeah.

This is the super secret project I've been working on; Looks different with the full set of apps:

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 video crew working with @streamplace to deliver your streaming experience.

Sri is at #AtmosphereConf and launching Taproot - a super-powered all-in-one AT Protocol Explorer. Browse PDSes, export repos and download blobs, stream live data, and so much more. Learn more here: sri.xyz/projects/tap...

These awards are for developers with MVP products built on open protocols, including both AT Protocol & ActivityPub. Let’s showcase the best alternatives to Big Tech products and platforms, and celebrate the potential of the open social sector. Deadline is May 1 app.formbricks.com/s/cmn3lqvw6b...

Excellent opportunity to showcase work on decentralized social tech, and pleased to work in partnership with @newpublic.org with @modalfoundation.eurosky.social on supporting better online social spaces.

If you're at #atmosphereconf come join me @offline.arushibandi.com and @christian.bsky.social to explore possible futures. Starting shortly: atmosphereconf.org/event/Bzy111e

We’re pleased to announce that we’ll be working with @eurosky.social to help to define and develop open social web infrastructure for the AT Protocol! www.igalia.com/2026/03/18/A...
