We have been added to European Alternatives. Yay! We keep working non-stop, the garage band is preparing the next cover. We will keep you posted! europealternatives.com/en/category/...

Dark mode is so dark, it even listens to My Chemical Romance. Check it out!

The migration process still hasn’t finished yet. There are still some images and videos missing. But most of my #Bluesky account is now here and this is very cool! I am now using Bluesky on European soil … 🇪🇺✌🏽😃

At @leafplaza.eu we believe in remote-first (as far as you are in the EU-EFTA, that is).

Dark mode on iOS starting to look good too

Actually not, I should watch Attie and you should take cover. I am just a business account after all. I stay behind the lines and report back.

This is exactly why you do not run AI on automatic without supervision and permissions.

Testing Dark Mode on Android. Still some stuff to fix, but we will get there. @jake.app.leafplaza.eu knows the trade!

I registered today and will move soon …

I switched today. Their support was phenomenal and immediate. I am happy I did and wish them lots of success.

Maximizing the revenue for stakeholders®️, of course.

Just to clarify to new users. Dark mode on the Mobile clients is not working. It is something we need to fix, not a new feature. We will give it priority. Thank you!

LeafPlaza's blog runs on Ghost (hosted by @infomaniak.bsky.social). We love it. blog.leafplaza.eu

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.

Hey @buyeuropean.eurosky.social - we just submitted and entry for LeafPlaza. Please let us know if you need anything else.

This is our official announcement about the LeafPlaza Open Beta

@leafplaza.eu is officially in Open Beta 🎉 After months of effort and hurdles that we might write about in the future, this step signals our platform as ready for users. However, there are plenty of valuable things we can do for our users. Stay tuned and discover them.

Maybe another day I will tell you the fascinating story of releasing an app from scratch in both Google Play and Apple App Store. And why it is so hard. Maybe even @jake.app.leafplaza.eu can chip in too. But today, we serve the main course at lunch time! @leafplaza.eu

LeafPlaza is cooking tonight. Stay tuned for tomorrow! 🍳

We are a social media platform and are very supportive of this

Happy to share our app is available in Google Play from today. Another step towards Open Beta. Coming soon! play.google.com/store/apps/d...

Europeans, you cannot just imagine how difficult it is to get an app published on Google Play and, in particular, the Apple Store. We have been trying to get that done the last cca. 4 weeks and not fully done yet. Once done, we will open LeafPlaza to Open Beta.

This was a well known problem years in advance. Tip: there is Kaizen Ticketing (made in the UK) if you search for an alternative. At @leafplaza.eu we are huge fans! www.kaizenticketing.com

We will see more of this happening, more often. The reasons: plenty of funding and a bunch of things east of Europe and southeast of Europe.

Emails is probably one of the easiest things to put under the European Tech umbrella. France's municipalities must take immediate action. At LeafPlaza we use @infomaniak.bsky.social, from Switzerland - and it works quite well for us.

Our user #10 @pfotenpilot.app.leafplaza.eu is here too, also #4 on iOS.

@chrglstr135.app.leafplaza.eu is our user #9 and iOS user #3, congrats!

#8 user and #2 iOS user is @flukas1988.app.leafplaza.eu! Congrats, you also get bragging rights!

@xarbit.app.leafplaza.eu welcome to LeafPlaza, you are our user #7 and also our first iOS user. You can brag about it, enjoy!

The iOS app is looking good, looking forward to greet our first iOS user - he is already around.

Posting this from LeafPlaza iOS app 😉

My input for the European Open Digital Ecosystems call: A Progressive Open Source Strategy for Europe From the summary section: - Establish European Sovereign Tech Fund (EU-STF). - Implement a 1% Open Source Tax on proprietary solutions, and use the revenue to fund EU-STF. 1/2

Big Tech spent €151 million lobbying the EU last year. That’s 890 lobbyists — more than elected MEPs. Now key digital rights like GDPR and the AI Act are being quietly rolled back. We looked at who’s really influencing EU tech rules — and what’s happening behind closed doors. 👇

Innovation is happening in Europe. We overtook the US in cumulative Git pushes (the number of times developers in a given economy uploaded code to GitHub) #EUStrategicAutonomy #EuroStack #MadeInEurope Source: innovationgraph.github.com/global-metri...

Salut @flotsam999.app.leafplaza.eu! you're our user #6, hence entitled to bragging rights. Enjoy!

Howdy @georg.app.leafplaza.eu you're our user #5, you get bragging rights too. Enjoy!

Welcome @patrick.app.leafplaza.eu, you're our fourth user, hence entitled to bragging rights. Enjoy!

4 years ago, "EU sovereignty" in tech was niche. Today, it's strategic infrastructure. That's why we're building Vatly - EU-based global MoR for European SaaS. Launches Q2. → vatly.com

Great news, but we also need to have the capabilities to protect these satellites. Spoiler: we do not have it

We believe, if properly designed, the Digital Euro is the right move. Citizens lose a lot of money every day to American middle service providers like Visa/Mastercard. Plus, they can cut or censor their services anytime they like.

Go Poland!

Wondering now if Musk is making us a favor by gaining all our collective hate and indirectly pushing down his local minions.

Data is king

@pablo.app.leafplaza.eu Move fast, they say. You know what stops new mobile products from moving fast? Apple and Google. People keep complaining about the EU bureaucracy, but the absurdity of the loops these two companies make pass you through is huge. 1/2
