Corporate giving makes up a small but growing portion of EFF’s revenue. Alongside our 32,000 individual donors, these organizations are critical to keeping up the fight. We’re grateful for the companies and their internal advocates who donate to EFF. 🧵 (1/8) www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

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...

SCOOP: In early June the European Commission unveiled its Tech Sovereignty Plan, which emphasized their commitment to #OpenSource. Just recently, they migrated their main ATproto accounts to #WSocial, a for-profit network that has quietly gone closed-source. blog.elenarossini.com/w-social-pub...

W Social, Public Institutions and the Theater of European Digital Sovereignty

European public institutions are betting big on digital sovereignty and open source software. And yet they recently moved their Bluesky accounts to W Social, a private, for profit network owned by Swe...

Interesting approach by the @ec.europa.eu to just ignore their own scientific service (JRC), which only 8w ago explicitly recommended to support @eurosky.social in this paper: https://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/handle/JRC144603

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.

Some social networks treat users like products. At mu users are people. “We will never sell Your Content or any other personal data we hold about you. We will never profile you for advertising purposes.” That’s our pledge for mu.social, it’s in our terms and privacy policy and it won’t change.

Where your data lives matters. We've moved our Bluesky account to a European Personal Data Server hosted by Eurosky. Same profile, same content, different infrastructure. A small step towards a more decentralized, resilient, and publicly accountable web. www.internetarchive.eu/2026/06/12/b...

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!

We're delighted to launch with multiple trusted verifiers: @france-atmosphe.re @npmx.dev and @medsky.network. Trusted organizations, businesses and professional networks can become verifiers and verify their people and accounts - reach out at verification@mu.social

2. A dedicated news tab! Pick the regions and topics you're interested in and get a customised feed of trusted news sources. Social media is media but news is suffering. This is a first step towards fixing that.

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".

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! 🪩💖

Everything we're able to do at @eurosky.social is by working with some of the most talented people in the Atmosphere 💙💙 @thisismissem.social @pds.dad @flo-bit.dev @renderg.host @bad-example.com @brookie.blog

Funny to see Tim Cook mention how so many more apps are being added to the App Store after seeing this report

How useful are all those vibe-coded apps at the end of the day? “The marked increase in mobile app releases over the past year has not been accompanied by any increase in downloads — most of the new apps fail to capture even a modest audience.” www.ft.com/content/8e9a...

From sunrise to sunset on Arrakis. Colourful cycling used to great effect, and some lovely Adlib Gold music from Stéphane Picq strikes the mood. One of my favourite games to this day. 💜 📺: Dune, Cryo Interactive, 1992 (DOS PC version)
