🚨It's high time to strip Meta, TikTok, etc off their privileges! 🚨 On September 16, Ursula von der Leyen must not demand #AgeVerification from social media, but force them to change for good! Otherwise, Big Tech bosses will decide votes, not the people. Our opinion: 👉 tuta.com/blog/eu-chan...

What's happening in #ATProto Science community is pretty remarkable. If you're an academic and you're not following this space, have a look at all that's being built: atproto.science/ecosystem/ (most are in very early stages of dev, but still awesome to peek at what's coming) 🧵

Even as @wsocial.eu onboards more and more users, they can’t seem to get them to talk to each other 🤐 This atrocious engagement rate (~9%) for users on the W PDS has been steady as a rock since day 1 (here you can see it in the daily totals and percentages). #WhosThereSocial
Absolute totals: Stacked bar chart titled “W Social — total users, 1 July to 21 August 2026”. Y-axis shows user count from 0 to just over 25,000, x-axis shows dates from late June to late August. Red area (non posting) and thin green band on top (users with 1+ post) both rise steadily from about 6,400 total users on 1 July to around 27,000 by 21 August, with a sharper jump in growth between 29 July and 3 August.100% stacked bar chart titled “W Social — total users by share, 1 July to 21 August 2026”. Y-axis shows share of total users from 0–100%, x-axis shows dates from late June to late August. Red area (non posting) holds steady at roughly 90–92% throughout; green area (users with 1+ post) fills the remaining 8–10%, both bands essentially flat across the full period.

The truth about #WSocial - in pics 📊 Yesterday I noticed some W Social MEGA fans cheering because the PDS officially surpassed Eurosky for the number of accounts they are hosting. Open data shows a DIFFERENT reality: while Eurosky has lively activity, W Social has scant interactions. #WSocialPics

Signing into the Atmosphere is a bit of a lottery. This is a user problem. But it's also a builder problem. The Atmosphere needs a brand identify, a design system, tools for builders to drive broad dev and user adoption. wecanjustdothings.leaflet.pub/3mlv5oijn5s2q #ATmosphere 🌀 #ATproto 🪿

Building an online profile (or a few) with your work, activities & what others say about you = very useful: others know who they're talking to, whether to trust what you share, whether to collab. That's what we're building. Tying it to a government ID though? BIG Nope 😬 Read why that's very bad 👇
