Accelerate building an independent European social web This week Bluesky went down. This is why our vision for a fully independent European social web matters. You are the first users of Eurosky. You are the community making this vision a reality. We are ...

Yesterday Bluesky went down. @eurosky.social servers worked but we couldn't communicate as we don't have an app.

Our next step is to build everything we need to operate without Bluesky. We're raising €100,000 to build a European app backend supporting 100k+ users.

Let's do this

We’re fundraising to build everything we need to operate without Bluesky. Our €100,000 target will accelerate our goal of building a European app backend (Appview) and a microblogging app.

Since last night over 282 of you contributed more than €5,000.

Let's do this!

They’ve imposed their twisted alternate reality on a large part of the public imagination (e.g. that migration is an existential threat to be feared instead of a human reality to be managed) and have managed to push out the true threats like the climate crisis, economic injustice, rising fascism…

Image ALT Text Generator Upload a screenshot or photo and generate useful ALT text with OCR and optional AI refinement.

I care very much about ALT text on media: it's about accessibility for (blind or low vision) humans using screen readers... but am pretty bad at it.

Only about half of the folks we sent emails to saying their accounts were nearly ready went through the following step, so it’s possible many of our emails ended in spam - do have a look in your spam folder!

The subject is “Your Eurosky.social account is nearly ready!”

Can yall share your stories for your *very* first introduction to what the internet was? I'd love to hear how you wrestled with the idea of going to intangible spaces. replies or quotes would be great, I'll add mine later.
