i dislike this beyond being factually incorrect, it is also missing the core problem with Big Tech Algorithms: it is a matter about who controls attention, not the algorithm itself /1
BlueSky today is really two things. There’s the BlueSky app, which is what a lot of people are familiar with. It’s a social network. We think it’s a better social network. It’s more human focused, doesn’t have ads. It doesn’t have algorithms. But more importantly, underneath BlueSky is an open protocol called AT Protocol. And BlueSky is only one of now over a thousand apps built on that protocol.

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 have edited a lot of sexual-assault-accusation articles, and this one easily clears every veracity check: contemporaneous emails with her therapist, a boyfriend who knew, a woman she warned—all before Platner ran for office. Good on Politico for nailing it, and on Jenny Racicot for speaking up.
