Important to pay attention to this case: independent research into tech platforms is fundamental to understanding effects and meaning of online expression.

mu trusted verifiers have verified over 4,000 accounts in less than a month - more than 50% of the total verified by Bluesky in 3 years. On mu you see both sets of verification, so you get more authenticity signals. Our goal is for the vast majority of mu users to be verified.

DjayDub@saw6mayo.eurosky.social · last mo.

Added the tracking and stats on the verification from @eurosky.social trusted verifiers on bskycheck.com/stats.php Use Eurosky's mu.social app @mu.social to see the check marks. More information on mu verification -> hello.mu.social/verification

20,000 strong today. Thank you so much everyone for the confidence and support. There’s still so much to do. Our commitment is to build the best open social experiences for Europe and beyond. Always for people first.

Well, well, well! Let’s get this party started: 20,000 users on @eurosky.social 🎊🥳 Congratulations to @sebastian.eurosky.social @sherif.eurosky.social @robin.berjon.com @ivansigal.eurosky.social @renderg.host @mu.social team & contributors. Thank you 🙏

It looks like W Identity, the part of @wsocial.eu that checks your papers before you go in, has a very basic XSS on its admin backend, found hours after launch. This seems almost too predictable... Cyberfriends, any thoughts on how bad? 23.social/@kantorkel/1...

A brief 🧵 for all outside the #atproto bubble on why, from a digital industrial policy perspective, this step is deeply bewildering. There's @eurosky.social – open source, non-profit, fully aligned with the EU's open source strategy. It provides all that W has, & more. And yet, the Commission...

European Commission@ec.europa.eu · 2mo ago

We have now joined W, a new European social media network. We’re present on 15+ platforms, and are especially happy to join one based in Europe and with the ambition to foster open and safer online conversations. Keep the conversation going - whether from W, Bluesky or other compatible apps.

You know when you find a great thread but it’s hard to read? Now with one tap (top right) in mu.social you get one uninterrupted view. Featuring @howtobuildup.bsky.social @marleenstikker.eurosky.social @robin.berjon.com cc @mu.social

you can just do things @mu.social

the cool thing about W Social is that it provides a great litmus test for people to see if they actually understand the mechanics of the system they care about

Anne Applebaum@anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu · 2mo ago

I have just switched to W social...more news on that to come...

It’s Monday and we’re brining you two little improvements to start the week. - a copy username button in a user’s profile menu, and - a companion cat to keep you company on mu 🐈🐈‍⬛😺

Opening the Eurostack exhibit at DG-CONNECT, @eurosky.social mentioned on stage — sovereignty through infrastructure 🇪🇺💖 I'm also delighted to hear Roberto Viola pushing for the European sovereign tech fund.

What's up with verification on mu.social? Our view is that verification is first and foremost about social proof that an account is who they claim to be. It's not about follower numbers, 'public profile' or other vanity metrics. We want social media where everyone can verify their account 👇

Since the cat is out of the bag, I guess I can finally say that @medsky.network is one of the trusted verifier accounts on my.social! Just like on blacksky.community and connect.medsky.network, you can go to mu.social and see accounts that have been verified by us!

Eurosky Social@eurosky.social · 2mo ago

Muve to the beat. Muve the conversation. Muve mountains. Today @eurosky.social announces mu.social, a new microblogging app to experiment with the future of social! 🪩💖

🎼🎶 I like to Mu it, Mu it. I like to Mu it, Mu it. 🎵

mu.social launches with post editing, a news tab, and distributed verification — things Bluesky could ship, but is busy chasing other squirrels. Build what people want early, iterate, get better. Get a head start. Proper offshoot survival path.

Eurosky Social@eurosky.social · 2mo ago

We launch with three novel features, and many more in the work. 1. Edit your posts! You have a five minute window to edit after sending (and the likes count gets reset). Perfect to fix those typos that mysteriously appear when you hit "Post".

Mu is a mythical lost continent. There is an entire civilisation buried under legacy social media. Today, the lost continent rises anew! Have something you want to build into Mu? Reach out! And go try it: mu.social!

This is just a first step, we have a lot more on the way. A core thesis of Eurosky is that with shared infrastructure, shipping apps is *fast*. We started on this a month ago, with a small budget. We will keep shortening this time.
