In an opinion piece for Le Monde, @nicolashenin.net & @robin.berjon.com reflect on the buzz generated by the X account run by the French Foreign Ministry, French Response. They call on the state to “invest in healthy, well-governed digital platforms”.

galiegrue: @eurosky.social

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.

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.

Successful major upgrade to our servers last night thanks to the fantastic work and very late night for @spotchi.eurosky.social with amazing support from @pds.dad. We’re now set up for many times more users. We’re already planning an even bigger upgrade, but that will be a few months from now.

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.

At @eurosky.social they don’t only offer to host your account. They also contribute to enriching the ecosystem by showcasing a library of applications, and they keep feeding the debate on ways to improve the whole infrastructure. Hats off to them!

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.

Es gehe nicht darum, US-Plattformen zu kopieren, sondern die zugrundeliegende Architektur zu verändern, betonte @sebastian.eurosky.social in seinem sehenswerten Vortrag über @eurosky.social auf der #rp26.

Wow! Das heute-journal erwähnt in seinem Bericht zur #rp26 auch @eurosky.social, mit O-Ton von @sebastian.eurosky.social.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 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.

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

Félicitations à @eurosky.social qui a franchi ce matin la barre des 15.000 comptes. C'est notre PDS de confiance, celui que nous recommandons pour héberger vos données 🇪🇺🇫🇷

15,000 of us 😊🥳

Ho creato il feed "Eurosky Italia", che raccoglie i post della comunità italofona su @eurosky.social e di chi ne parla. (1/3)

Auf vielfachen Wunsch sind wir mit unserer @bluesky.app-Instanz zu @eurosky.social gewechselt.

Wir sind jetzt bei @eurosky.social und sonst sollte sich nix geändert haben. Sollen wir noch was ausprobieren? #eurosky

EuroSky is available in French and soon will be for other languages I’ve transferred, will you?

Notre site est désormais disponible en français ! 🇫🇷 La langue compte – c'est pourquoi nous avons traduit eurosky.tech/fr en français. D'autres langues suivront bientôt. Pas encore de compte Eurosky ? Créez le vôtre sur eurosky.tech/fr/accounts/ – gratuit, européen, et à vous pour toujours.

We and many others are working hard for European digital sovereignty. Builders need @ec.europa.eu support for open source.

You can create your character with @rpg.actor and because you’re on @eurosky.social you get to have a special Europe cape! View the character sheet, and create your own: rpg.actor/sherif.eurosky.social

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

So I have migrated my data to @eurosky.social - this is the first post there. Migration process impeccably explained, and everything else is then pretty much as it was, including the username I use here.

New Starter-pack and List. 🆕 The European .eu self-certified accounts. Wish all were on @eurosky.social to ensure that control over data and governance of the infrastructure remain rooted in Europe. Nouveau kit de démarrage et Liste. 🆕 Les comptes auto-certifiés en .eu. go.bsky.app/4qE2rQx

Après le lancement de @wsocial.eu et proposons une traduction de ce thread de @bsky-brief.eurosky.social : Outre @eurosky.social , il existe désormais @wsocial.eu , un autre fournisseur auprès duquel vous pouvez héberger les données de votre compte pour l'ATmosphere en Europe

Neben @eurosky.social gibt es mit @wsocial.eu nun einen weiteren Anbieter, bei dem ihr Euren Account-Daten für die ATmosphere in Europa hosten könnt (falls ihr nicht selbst hosten wollt). Allerdings verlangt W eine Verifizierung mit dem Personalausweis. Was haltet Ihr davon?

We don’t win by re-building the same Web 2.0 experiences (but on an open protocol). We win by making them intertwined - so that your friends who are into microblogging can interact with you although you’re into photos. Interoperability is our strongest advantage.

Swedish Lapland says Hi with a smiley for #Europeday.

This is an image of 1.7 billion stars observed with the European Space Agency's @esa.int Gaia mission, looking in all directions. Gaia has revolutionised our knowledge of our galaxy! Gaia took data from 2013 to 2025, and its next data release is out in December. 500 TB of data will be made public!

A belated #Europeday post. Let's make a wish for all Europeans here on #eurosky and #bluesky with this photo I took in Strasbourg a few years ago. #urbanphotography #urbangaze #eck 📸©helene-cook.eu

Stunning pictures from across Europe in the thread - mountains, fields, lakes, architecture, and even space imagery from a European satellite. Check them out and add yours in the thread! 👇 #EuropeDay

🇪🇺🎊🇪🇺🦋🇪🇺 Aimable rappel que nous célébrons aujourd'hui la Fête de l'Europe et que c'est le jour ou jamais pour migrer vos données sur Eurosky. Gentle reminder that today is Europe Day, and it is the perfect day to migrate your data to Eurosky. ➡️ eurosky.tech

On the occasion of Europe Day - I've got updated language statistics of @eurosky.social users 🙂 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺

Moin und Hola Europa von Mallorca #EuropeDay

Today is #EuropeDay, celebrating peace and unity in Europe. Share your favourite picture of nature, arts, culture here👇 To get started, this is a shot of a Eucalyptus tree at night taken near El Saltador, Andalusia, Spain. Oh and why not move your account to Europe too? move.eurosky.tech 😉

And can celebrate here on Bluesky by moving your data to a European server, that operates under EU law, like @eurosky.social :) eurosky.tech/accounts/

If your Atmosphere Account lives on @eurosky.social then your rpg.actor will unlock this Europa Cape next time you login. Very happy to spread some #atproto delight and fun to everyone broadening our wide web, across the whole world.

👏💪🎉

Unsere Website ist jetzt auf Deutsch verfügbar! 🇩🇪 Wir wissen, dass Sprache wichtig ist – deshalb haben wir eurosky.tech ins Deutsche übersetzt. Weitere Sprachen folgen bald. Noch kein Eurosky-Konto? Erstelle dir eins unter eurosky.tech/accounts – kostenlos, europäisch und für immer deins.

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.

Great @stollmeyer.eurosky.social The next step could be to join @eurosky.social Some MEPs and parties have already done so. @alexandrageese.eurosky.social @vostrihonova.eurosky.social @marketkag.eurosky.social @volteuropa.org go.bsky.app/Mw4uF6P

Europe needs independent social infrastructure, not just an app. This is what we're building. eurosky.tech/build/

Gute Nachricht - Grüne, SPD und Linke verlassen X! Politische Debatte braucht fairen Austausch, der Menschen erreicht & informiert. X hingegen fördert zunehmend Desinformation & versinkt im Chaos. Macht mit & spread the word! Gemeinsam erreichen wir, dass die Bundesregierung diesem Beispiel folgt.

Liebe Grüne, herzlich willkommen bei Bluesky! 🌻 Mein Grünes Startpaket ist vielleicht hilfreich für Euch. Es enthält 150 Accounts und drei nützliche Bluesky-Feeds, die ich empfehle. go.bsky.app/p73EqT

Liebe SPD-/Grünen-/Linken-Politiker*innen, willkommen bei Bluesky! Wer seine Daten in europäischer Infrastruktur hosten und einen Beitrag zur digitalen Souveränität leisten möchte, kann seinen Account zu @eurosky.social migrieren. Auf https://move.eurosky.tech geht das ganz einfach. Ich helfe gerne.

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

Salut l'Atmosphere, y-a-t'il des photographes avec des comptes @eurosky.social qui souhaitent être ajoutés à ce kit de démarrage? #euroskyphotographers starter pack go.bsky.app/QmHDHZe

2 weeks in to life on @eurosky.social. It's great over here.

Regardez @france-atmo.eurosky.social La France sur Bluesky, hébergé sur @eurosky.social : un annuaire des comptes français présents dans l'ATmosphere, organisé par thèmes. Check out @france-atmo.eurosky.social a directory of thematic starter-packs of French accounts.
