Title: A message to all Eurosky members and friends

We need your help - can you support Eurosky with a monthly or one-off donation?

We are building Eurosky on the principle that it is possible to build better social tech that also prioritize people’s interests over corporate greed. Since the beginning of the year we’ve taken big steps towards our mission of building independent infrastructure and experience for social media in Europe.

In April we launched a fundraiser to help accelerate our roadmap, in particular:

- Building a European microblogging app backend, to support European apps
- Growing our PDS capacity
- Supporting up to 100k users

Since then, we have raised nearly €15,000 Euros that have directly contributed to:

- Upgrading our PDS servers, which are now used by more than 22,000 people, up from around 10,000 when we launched the fundraiser - with plenty of room to grow.
- Deploying a high availability Eurosky relay in Europe serving Atmosphere apps, so apps can access Atmosphere data easily from a European source.
- Deploying a PLC mirror in Europe serving Atmosphere apps, to ensure that people’s identities also have a European server.
- Kicked off building the microblogging backend (“app view”) with a deployment planned for the end of July.
- Developed and launched mu, our microblogging application with wildly cool features, hitting 100k active users in its first month, to rave reviews.

Whilst all of this costs more than the 15k we raised, it would not have been possible without it.

I read the new EU Court ruling on algorithms and social platforms so you don't have to. Turns out to be the most consequential thing a European court has said about recommendation algorithms, and also it just breaks when you apply it to the atmosphere connectedplaces.online/the-algorith...

connectedplaces.online

The Algorithm, Singular

A new European ruling on algorithmic amplification determines if an operator controls how content spreads on a platform. But applying it to open social networks turns out to be a problem.

Two years ago, my colleagues and I were sued by Stephen Miller's America First Legal. The Hines v Stamos case — built atop a number of false allegations — was a central element of the "censorship industrial complex" myth. Today, that case was dismissed (by a Trump judge in LA). We won.
