We’re leaving Facebook / Instagram / Meta / X.

We no longer want to contribute to platforms whose algorithms amplify hate, polarization, and AI-driven propaganda.

We will remain active on Mastodon and Reddit.

Question for you: which platforms do you think we should also be active on?

@novacustom Very good decision.

The only other viable option I see, besides the Fediverse given that you already have a presence in it via Mastodon, would be Eurosky: https://www.eurosky.tech/.

Basically, you can access Bluesky and other AT-Protocol-based solutions, but with your data hosted in Europe (in the Netherlands as far as I know).

I haven't tested yet, even though I received my invitation codes for myself and my company. Any feedback or thoughts are welcome.

@Skyper @novacustom an Eurosky account is still completely dependent on the American Bluesky corporation, doesn't really have almost any benefits over just using their PDS too and is even funded by Americans. The Dutch foundation is just a shell chaired by an American that seems to have been created for the express purpose of making it appear Free Our Feeds / Eurosky is more European than it really is...

@ikuturso @novacustom Agreed, I'm aware of it, and that's why I only recommend Fediverse platforms around me. That's said, from a business perspective, to reach a broader audience, it doesn't seem to be a bad idea. It's a trade-off I think. But if you have counter-arguments, please share, I'm all ears.
