Now we get back to building and breaking walls

We spent the day yesterday in a retro/reflection/(not)post-mortem/planning. Something exciting is bubbling, watch this @eurosky.social space 😉

Grok’s antisemitic output is appalling.

It goes against Europe’s fundamental rights and values.

The DSA is clear: hate speech has no place online in Europe.

We already took action on GPAI risks, including X’s chatbot in March.

We are in touch with X: the company must act on its chatbots risks.

Elon Musk is very explicitly altering the X algorithm to show people content that aligns with his far-right worldview.

If you're still posting there and think you can win hearts and minds or something, this is what you're up against. You're never going to win a rigged game.

An X user asks Elon Musk why they’re seeing tweets from left-wing lawmakers.

Musk: “Because we are failing very badly with the recommendations algorithm. Doing my best to address this.”

And @alexandrageese.bsky.social is on fire today. Frustration from yesterday's tech sovereignty summit? #EuroskyLive

Die @eurosky.social Konferenz in Berlin hat begonnen. Bin so gespannt, was der Stand von #eurosky ist! Für mich ist es der Anfang einer echten Alternative zu kommerziell organisierten sozialen Netzen, dezentral u Demokratie-kompatibel, die TechBro Milliardären ihre Manipulationsmacht entzieht.

If you scroll on X, you are only being shown what Elon wants you to see. If you create content on X, no one will see it unless Elon wants them to.

Takeaways from #eurosky: big tech social media displaced journalism, a core pillar of democracy, and has been bad for society. EU lawmakers want European, privacy-centered tech. There are still questions of whether the internet is worth building on and what to build. But they are talking about it

Eurosky Live in Berlin was this week (great to see so many cool people!), and I wrote about building open social networking protocols is about more than just building an alternative to Big Tech's platform power

Heike Raab at #EuroskyLive says "We need:

1. sustainable financing of free and independent media
2. to protect communication spaces from manipulation
3. to reform media concentration law against concentration in social media.

Regulation isn't enough, we need our own European infrastructure."

Was für ein kultureller Unterschied zwischen #eurosky Konferenz u #Digitalgipfel gestern! Mehr Zivilgesellschaft, mehr Debattenzeit u sogar Fragen aus dem Publikum sind möglich! Hier gehts um dig. Souveränität im gesell. Sinn, um "Resilienz der Zivilgesellschaft" (quote @alexandrageese.bsky.social)

Great article (!) about the @eurosky.social conference with mentions of:
Eine Gruppe von Entwicklerinnen und Entwicklern plant, eine europäische Infrastruktur für soziale Netzwerke zu schaffen. Das Ziel: ein offenes System, das von keinem Tech-Konzern abhängig ist – und weniger schlechte Laune macht. @seabass.bsky.social hat mir mehr erzählt:

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

v1.110 is live!

We’ve expanded post-reporting options from 5 → 39. This gives you more precise ways to flag issues and strengthens the signals our safety systems rely on. Clearer reports mean better moderation and higher-quality conversations across Bluesky. Learn more: bsky.social/about/blog/1...

Absolutely was not expecting the level of recognition I received when showing up and talking about all the things we’re doing at @transrights.northsky.social and our next steps.

Some amazing conversations were had and I’ve got a whole list of people to speak with in the coming weeks. #EuroskyLive
Applause of the day was certainly for @evelyn.northsky.team and that was before she started :)

I was asked today at #EuroskyLive what @transrights.northsky.social needs.

My immediate answer was developers as we’re 100% volunteer driven and getting deep into ATproto. It’s not just coding but also working together to design the service for the platform.
