This has always been my instinct. It's the thread linking my workshop at the Ahoy conference in March 2025 and my presentation at the @eurosky.social launch the following November...

Buffer@buffer.com

Bluesky isn't really a virality platform. It's a depth platform. If you're chasing one big spike, this isn't the place. If you're building something niche and durable that people stick around for, it might be the best place there is. 💙

'ignore #atproto at your peril" - true, and the major educational challenge is for those who don't yet have data to migrate, and think Bluesky is "just another platform".

Benjamin Braun@benbraun.eurosky.social

Just do it. For two distinct reasons: 1. Your data moves to Europe. 2. The act of migrating is educational: It’ll help you understand what the AT protocol is and why it’s a hugely promising technology. If you’re in the business of knowledge, broadly conceived, ignore #atproto at your peril.

I still haven't entirely made up my mind about WSocial, but for now I'll be going with "dubious closed fork". Captures my doubts perfectly. I still hope our doubts turn out to be unjustified, because a successful WSocial is a successful Atmosphere experiment, which can only be good.

European Commission @ec.europa.eu removed the Bluesky logo from its social links and replaced it with the dubious closed fork of Bluesky called “W” which has privacy issues 😬

Everything we’re building at @eurosky.social is possible because of the work of many others and we’re proud of it. From the AT Protocol to PDS to data tools to apps - it’s possible because of @bsky.app @blackskyweb.xyz @microcosm.blue and many others. Nothing would have been possible without them.

That final paragraph is a killer and certainly does put things in perspective.

#WSocial is ushering in a new era of digital "empowerment": a 13-step process to confirm your identity so you can prove that you're human /s 🔗: aseachange.com/@elena/statu... I just hope they have fixed their XSS vulnerability by now. Any updates on it @robin.berjon.com ?

Evelyn@kandake.africa

Oh so _thats_ why they went closed source. They're going to fork the lexicon, have a "verified" social graph and build an ecosystem around that with a walled garden moderation that rips out all the bits granting agency. Welcome to EU threads.

Bluesky network6d ago

Didn't get to ask my question, so here they are @anna.wsocial.eu (I'm in the room :)) But firstly, welcome to the Atmosphere! It's always great to see another app join the OSW (open social web).

Going to the W Social launch this afternoon at the Brussels Press Club. Should be interesting! Anyone I know joining me?

til w social client became closed source; a lil concerning since some high level eu officials moved to w instead of eurosky, might be the start of a "big tech but eu" trend from W Social, Public Institutions and the Theater of European Digital Sovereignty by @elenarossini.com

W Social have taken down the public repo of their app: https://github.com/w-social-eu. You can still look at the last state from early March in the archive, but right now it's no longer public. That means that the European Commission has factually migrated their data from an open source platform (Bluesky) into a closed source platform (W Social).

Just another tool4thought, at the end of the day. Lol

The fact that an LLM wiki standard is “markdown with yaml frontmatter” - which has been human hand built without a CMS for years - is kind of amusing.

We're going to see a lot of this one this year.

Managing scientific knowledge for policy on the ATmosphere

Two types of Atmosphere toolkit are needed if ATScience is to help scientists do science and better communicate it to other audiences: one serving the researchers and their teams, the other focused on aggregation and synthesis.

Wonder why I don't get the sexy new @leaflet.pub preview when I post a link? I'm probably doing something wrong, but what?

Then I went to tell my network on LinkedIn all about it! And then I wrote What is LinkedIn's filter bubble not showing you? mathewlowry.leaflet.pub/3mnz4qm75tk26
