#WSocial will open up their beta program today… and I have a SCOOP for you: it appears that they have quietly gone closed-source! This is ironic, considering that the @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu just unveiled their Tech Sovereignty Package, emphasizing the importance of #OpenSource. And yet they have migrated their main ATproto accounts to W Social - whose code can no longer be inspected!

The Politics of Open Infrastructures: Power, Governance, and Justice in Digital Knowledge Practices
This volume examines how openness is designed, governed, contested and lived in contemporary digital knowledge infrastructures. From open source software and internet standards, to citizen science platforms, public sector data systems and alternative computing practices, the book shows that infrastructures are never neutral technical backbones.

The Economics of Sovereign Media: A Roadmap for AT Protocol | ATmosphereConf VODs
atmosphereconf-vods.wisp.placeThe Sovereign Tech Agency is doing something special: we invest in and support the open digital infrastructure that modern economies and societies rely on. We’re currently #hiring for several roles: - HR Generalist - Program Manager #SovereignTechFund - Executive Assistant #digitalsovereignty 1/2
Not that I'm at all against sovereign infrastructure, but it's quite interesting to see so much focus local, interoperable cloud infrastructure while interoperability remains taboo for individuals and communities. bsky.app/profile/chrisshank.com/post/3…

Ha obviously im glad there are incentives and investment in sovereign tech stacks! But let‘s not trick ourselves into believing swapping out tech giants with some new companies and regulations will suddenly fix everything.
A brief 🧵 for all outside the #atproto bubble on why, from a digital industrial policy perspective, this step is deeply bewildering. There's @eurosky.social – open source, non-profit, fully aligned with the EU's open source strategy. It provides all that W has, & more. And yet, the Commission...
European Commission
We have now joined W, a new European social media network. We’re present on 15+ platforms, and are especially happy to join one based in Europe and with the ambition to foster open and safer online conversations. Keep the conversation going - whether from W, Bluesky or other compatible apps.
