Considering how popular the fediverse already is with at least some of the public institutions in Europe, this is a puzzling move.

"European organizations are about to launch their own social media platform, W, amid rising tensions with the United States."

Hm, so it might actually be powered by ATproto?

atprotocol.dev/w-for-atproto/

Interesting.

@uastronomer Nope, looks like it's using ATproto: atprotocol.dev/w-for-atproto/

@jcrabapple Blacksky recently managed to create their own appview, which was the last missing piece for full independence from Bluesky, from what I understand.

As for Northsky, --

"yes, Northsky will have it's own Apps / AppView as part of Phase 2 of development."

@jcrabapple Yeah, I don't know how this is all going to look long-term, given how expensive it supposedly is to run the full infrastructure.

Blacksky has raised some money, but they currently have fewer users on their PDS than the Forkiverse server.

Northsky has much less than that.
