Super proud to be part of the EU Horizon proposal Social-PETs. It aims to bring privacy-enhancing tech (PETs) like homomorphic encryption and secure multiparty computation to open social networks such as #ATProto, making powerful recommender systems possible without centralised data.

I am so looking forward to @eurosky.social and I wrote down why I care about this ecosystem, both as an artist and as a coder. Including shoutout to @flashes.blue and @seabass.bsky.social #WeCanJustDoThings
Why ATProto and Bluesky matter to artists. Or at least why it matters to me.
A personal story about why I want to be part of the ATProto community, as a coder and as an artist. And why people need to invest money in it. Let's talk at Eurosky in Berlin.
