A cure for current social media is - decentralisation!

Says German NGO @hateaid in their report "Safety by design" which mentions the Fediverse and Eurosky as building blocks of a digital European future.

The presentation of the report starts now @publix.

@mathias Eurosky is a tech provider that currently offers account hosting for ATProto accounts. So you can have a Eurosky account and then use apps like Bluesky, Flashes, Tangled, etc.
So the Eurosky PDS doesn't rely on Bluesky (the app). Bluesky runs a relay and an app view for their app. And they ingest content from the Eurosky PDS. So in a sense they depend on Eurosky :)
@everton137 @leavex.eu @[email protected] It worked! The account now sits on the eurosky PDS. When logging into Bluesky you have to provide eurosky.social as the hosting provider in the sign-in form.

@ikuturso This is all highly speculative, and everything that has evolved in the past two years contradicts your thesis. People have already migrated away from Bluesky PDSs, and Blacksky houses already thousands of accounts. EuroSky will house even more.

And to be fair, everything you fear could also be applied to mastodon.social.

And if political pressure ever escalated that far, users could migrate their accounts to Eurosky. That’s the key difference to protocols you may be more familiar with: exit is real. No powertripping admin can hold your account hostage. You are not depend on someone's grace to forward requests to your account to your new instance. (3/3)
If Bluesky were to try to suppress visibility of European users, it would only control its AppView and feeds. European-operated infrastructure can index and rank independently. Visibility is not structurally monopolized. (2/3)
@ikuturso “What happens in practice” matters, but 99% of users are *not* structurally “under the control” of one company. AT accounts are tied to DIDs and self-certifying data. Identity and storage are portable. That’s fundamentally different from a closed / monolithic platforms. (1/3)

About Eurosky: Eurosky doesn’t need to “beat” Bluesky’s user numbers. Sovereignty isn’t about majority market share. It’s about who runs the infrastructure: PDS, relays, AppViews, moderation, compliance tooling under EU law…users have the freedom to migrate.

Control of components > control of one app. (2/2)
