Eurosky: sovereign European technology
Eurosky is building European infrastructure for the open social web - the foundation that lets startups create safer, fairer social web products and services that users actually control, enabling European innovation to compete in the global digital economy. The European social media market is worth tens of billions annually, with nearly all of it flowing to Big Tech. Eurosky will enable European startups to reclaim this market share while creating jobs, giving users control, protecting democratic discourse, and preventing the platform lock-in that created today's monopolies. Our first Eurosky Live conference will took place in Berlin on 19 November 2025.
FriedemannDid anyone attend #Eurosky's live conference on 19 Nov. in Berlin and can report about the state of play of that project?
Is there a schedule for when something will go online? What are the next steps? etc.

#mwuahaha sorry, laugh may content high dose of schadenfreude and irony.

Ted Han★ 韓聖安The ATProto Community Fund participated with the #FreeOurFeeds team at #ProtocolsForPublishers last month in New York.
Very excited to see them host a European ATProto & #Eurosky event around the Franco-German Sovereignty Summit in November!

Fehlt hier #freeOurFeeds? Eine Rednerin zumindest ist ja Verfechterin dieser Art der Souveränität.
Stefan BohacekAlso interesting to catch up on #FreeOurFeeds. Remember them?
"Free Our Feeds wants to raise $30 million over three years, and has an immediate goal of $4 million to hire a small team and build independent infrastructure."

'Free Our Feeds' campaign aims to billionaire-proof Bluesky’s tech | TechCrunch
The initiative, Free Our Feeds, aims to protect Bluesky’s underlying technology, the AT Protocol, and leverage it to create an open social media ecosystem that can’t be controlled by a single company or billionaires, including Bluesky itself.

Vejo da mesma forma.
Com esse desenho (intervenção inicial na camada zero), vale dialogar com a turma do #FreeOurFeeds, que busca descentralizar o #ATProto.
No Fediverso, vemos um papel para instituições na retomada da soberania digital (universidades, institutos de pesquisa, museus, sindicatos, etc.). Já viram o "Move Slowly & Build Bridges"? É por aí..

Quem me deu o toque sobre esta possibilidade de conexão do #PIX no nível do protocolo foi o @robin, que integra o #FreeOurFeeds. Por isso, acho que seria estratégico que alguém do governo brasileiro acompanhasse as discussões técnicas neste nível. Por vários motivos, o #ATproto estaria mais próximo deste "experimento estratégico". Posso estar enganado…
