On X or Instagram, data ownership means the platform owns it: your posts, your audience, your account live on one company's servers. Leave, get banned, algorithm changes, and you lose everything. We show why that's different on open protocols where you own a portable identity.

Why Bluesky isn't just Twitter 2.0. Same feed look, completely different system underneath. Like email: different apps, same network, and you own your portable account.

Not if you want to use the apps only. You need your own account (Bluesky, your own server, whatever). Just use the custom server option, enter the server address of your provider and you're free to use the app. If you want to use LeafPlaza accounts, subscriptions keep our servers running.

You can use the apps for free but you need to use custom server access to connect using any other ATP provider (e.g. Bluesky). If you want a LeafPlaza account, then yes there is a small annual subscription or a 3-year bundle. This help us to support the development of the app but also our platform.

Unlike @wsocial.eu we do not get free stuff from the EU because of... reasons. But we do get in-app translations powered by DeepL ☺️ Coming soon to your iOS or Android device. Stay tuned.

This is NOT standard AT proto. This is how Bluesky did it on its platform and it is followed by anybody following the same practices. You can do inline translation if you desire to improve the user experience.

You can either: - Get a code at leafplaza.eu (and support us) - Or use your own custom server (option available in the latest app version)

One useful thing about building @leafplaza.eu in public. Someone will always find the sentence you thought was perfectly clear and ask the exact question that proves it wasn’t. Honestly helpful. Mildly humbling. 😂

Another (a big bigger) update: We got a reply from DG CNECT, nothing surprising. They claim moving to W Social is a better choice than using the US-based Bluesky. No reference to other EU alternatives, including us. The case moves forward with the EU Ombudsman and we expect now their reaction.

Supporting compatible PDS providers sounded like a simple login change. Nice and easy. Well, that's before every assumption in the app about where an account lives raised its hand 😂

One thing I learned adding privacy friendly analytics to LeafPlaza: Apple and Google can ask about the same app and same data in completely different ways. The code was the easy part. Privacy engineering involves a surprising amount of careful reading. 📋

We run the public code from Bluesky with very few modifications, none in the functionality. Our fork is not public *yet*, we need to expose it and we will do it. Roadmap in our website, it is evolving and we are discussing the topic of DMs. Our infra is in Hostinger (DE) and Infomaniak (CH).

Mostly legal concerns, to be forced by a foreign country to do something we do not want because we have users there. The concern is still there. However, we believe we can manage things at this point of our growth stage.

LeafPlaza 1.5 is live. We heard the feedback. We’ll always encourage people to create an account with @leafplaza.eu, hosted on our EU PDS in Frankfurt, but accounts hosted elsewhere can now use our iOS and Android apps too. No migration. No moving van required. 🚚 The plaza just got bigger.

LANGUAGES. Some of the major languages in the EU are already present. Keep on mind what is not translated is a) content (for now) and b) few items here and there. Just post about something not translated and tag @leafplaza.eu - we will confirm if we can address it and add a possible fix.

@leafplaza.eu opens the mobile client to any user, from any ATP server. Just please note your custom server might or might not be sovereign, that part is up to you.

Any ATProto server, any user. Just remember your data lives in your server, so custom servers may or may not be sovereign.

The fact that we are testing does not mean you have the fix yet. We will announce release when is ready (it depends entirely on Apple).

Europe can use privacy as a competitive advantage in the global tech market.
leafplaza.leaflet.pub
Privacy as EU Tech advantage
Online crime loves legal massive data collection, grey systems, and jurisdictional gaps. Privacy-first design can actually reduce crime exposure and build trust in digital services. It is also central to the EU's tech autonomy: build systems aligning with European rights and risk models. Do not rely on foreign platforms or copy outside practices that might go against the EU values and needs.
