Today I found an almost 20 year old article, "Will MySpace ever lose its monopoly?" It was fun to read with how much time and things have changed since. How similar some problems were then to now. But there was at least one problem solved. You can take your social capital with you when you go.

Social Capital

The problem Atproto is solving

(Click Detail to see the city names) Some people interpreted the Geotaggers' World Atlas maps to be maps of tourism. This set is an attempt to figure out if that is really true. Some cities (for ...

Do you like your social media less toxic? Yeah, we do too. @eurosky.social and Germany's Federal Agency for Breakthrough Innovation (SPRIND) just signed an agreement to collaborate on precisely that: eurosky.tech/news/eurosky...

Eurosky is collaborating with SPRIND to test a non-toxic algorithm for the first time - Eurosky

Eurosky is a European initiative to build and operate sovereign social web infrastructure

eurosky.tech

We launched 26 days ago — remember that? It still feels like it was barely yesterday 😘 Today we hit 100,000 monthly active users! ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND OF YOU. And we don't even have native apps yet. We love you! Thank you! This is just the beginning of something mu.

A message to all Eurosky members and friends We need your help - can you support Eurosky with a monthly or one-off donation? If you can, please visit whydonate.com/fundraising/...

Everyone should @ @eurosky.social right now so that they make this exclusive merch available free for mugrants to @mu.social #NFC #RFID 😻 Yes I’ve given in to #Mu puns. Life is pain and nothing matters. Why resist? 🤷‍♀️

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...

Lots of hype about W at the moment, but ICYMI, there are already some European AT Protocol alternatives for your decentralised social web needs Try mu.social @mu.social Get a Eurosky account at eurosky.tech @eurosky.social And for professional stuff, there's sifa.id @sifa.id

I'm going to "ATproto Belgium - TGIF meetup".

ATproto Belgium - TGIF meetup

First IRL meeting of the Belgian ATmosphere Enthusiasts! No agenda, we want to hang out and drink tasty pints... Because TGIF ! Whether you’re deep into the ATmosphere, just Bluesky‑curious, or you only come for the beers, you’re very welcome. Drop by, say hi, put faces on handles, and help us shape what ATproto meetups in Belgium could look like. Come as you are, stay as long (or short) as you like, and feel free to bring a friend who might enjoy the ATmosphere. 🍻 **About the venue** Bla Bla Pub Bistro is a 1‑minute walk from Brussels Central Station, so it’s easy for Atmofans from both Flanders and Wallonia to join us.

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! 🪩💖

So Bluesky was broken but the Atmosphere wasn’t. A little tour of the Atmosphere when everything here was blank. With timestamps 🐶

What a day to officially launch our @eurosky.social Portal!

Eurosky Social@eurosky.social · 5mo ago

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

What a day! Did we mention that today was the day we removed invites from Eurosky accounts? Anyone can create an account straight away.

Kick ass team I tell you!

I don't think I've made a post about it yet, but I've been helping out the Eurosky team behind the scenes a bit for the past couple of months. Mostly on the PDS side of things, like removing the need for invite codes and other odds & ends.

The @eurosky.social team hosts accounts on European servers. This type of hosting is usually pretty invisible - it just works. The team now has a portal showcasing all the apps you can connect to with your atmosphere account.

“it’s not in the app” “defence” is imo short sighted. it *should* be in the app. i think “feeds” are a wrong consumption primitive. hopping between apps to create/consume has always been bad so leaning into it as “AI ends here” feels accidental. separating creation from consumption steals agency

Hello Atmosphere!
