Next week I’ll be in Berlin for a European Digital Sovereignty Summit satellite event to help launch @eurosky.social.

So it's time to ask: what does #sovereignty look like in the #socialmedia space?

Stripping the „Social“ from Social Media one step at a time.

"If an ad does not reach the 95% threshold but the warning system still marks it as suspicious, Meta charges the marketers higher rates as a penalty.“

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.

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

Diese Warnung ist unmissverständlich.

@francescabria.bsky.social & @josebautista.bsky.social haben das Vorgehen von US-Big-Tech kartografiert.

Ihre Fazit: Ein autoritäres Netzwerk ist auch hier dabei den Staat zu privatisieren.

Wir müssen #Palantir & Co den Stecker ziehen bevor es zu spät ist.

FTR the app-view is up and has been for a few weeks.
Ingesting terabytes of social media data is not trivial.
I've worked to re-implement some experimental work by Divy into rsky-ingester, rsky-backfiller, and rsky-indexer

When it's production ready, it'll move off of staging.blacksky.community
