The stage version looks identical to Bluesky, including the look and the placement of the icons.

Europe might unfortunately not have an alternative to protect its democracies. See also here. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jan/22/experts-warn-of-threat-to-democracy-by-ai-bot-swarms-infesting-social-media

BoingBoing today on WSocial.

Thank you. Also really ugly site.

In Italian (where the letter “w” doesn’t exist) it could work: vuvu 😆

We simply don’t know that. I can’t find a website yet, so it is too early to make statements about their use of ActivityPub.

Cristina Caffarra (two “r”'s) is someone to explore though. See my Lemmy post about her.

It is the first time that the US targets a select number of EU countries, rather than the EU as a whole. This makes it highly vulnerable to court challenges and at the WTO, unless there is a declared national security emergency because of a direct threat from those target countries (of course beyond a post on TruthSocial).

Thank you.

Thank you.

I mean as identity of course. Which of all these instances is brandfromEU (covered also in the media) and which is not?

Rather than sarcastic, I feel confused. Is buyfromeu the same as goeuropean, go-european, madeineuropeeu? Where should I post? What is the difference between them? It seems like the EU itself (27 opinions, therefore 27 logos, websites, etc.)

To begin with, the Reddit instance lists a website (with three names of individuals involved in its about us section) and an app, all with different logos. The mess goes on on the socials (X with handle @madeineuropeeu, Bluesky (two handles, two logos), Lemmy (three instances), europe.pub and digg. I cannot make heads or tails about them. BuyfromEU has got some media coverage, but where do I join them?

When it comes to privacy, Bluesky (owned by Bluesky Social, PBC or public benefit corporation) is not Signal (owned and operated by the Signal Foundation). Direct messages on Bluesky are unencrypted, and they collect quite a lot of personal data (see section 8B in their privacy policy), they use these data for marketing and “other purposes” (section 10), and share them with “third-party services” and “business partners” (section 11). Mastodon should get its act together.

I agree. The argument that the approach is not so different from choosing an email provider to be able to send email to anyone has been too little made.

I was actually referring to the article, which was shared on those platforms. Euractiv is usually well informed. Since it seems to be based on off the record conversations, it is definitely not something that the European Commission will/can share at this stage.

I found it on Mastodon. It is also on Bluesky and X.
