About us

Eurosky is building the future of social media - open, pluralistic, and made in Europe.

We believe social media should serve our economies and societies, not monopolies. Eurosky is a public-interest infrastructure project that puts control in the hands of users, businesses, and European society.

By combining European cloud infrastructure with open standards and democratic governance, we’re creating a new ecosystem where innovation thrives, moderation is transparent, and no single company or country can dictate the rules.

Eurosky is a pan-European initiative spearheaded by a coalition of entrepreneurs, technologists and civil society organizations to ensure the web remains independent, interoperable, and resilient.

Eurosky is an initiative of the Modal Foundation, a non-profit foundation based in the Netherlands. The Modal Foundation supports social technologies whose commitment is to the public interest. The foundation grew out of the Free Our Feeds campaign to advocate for alternatives to big tech. 

Governance

Eurosky is an active participant in the global ATProto ecosystem and aims to help create pluralistic global governance of the protocol. We will develop a Eurosky covenant to ensure that participants in the Eurosky AT network respect European norms and values. Eurosky will further work towards integration between ATProto and other protocols (specifically ActivityPub) to ensure the interoperability at the infrastructure level that supports the diverse interests of many stakeholders.

High-level operating principles

Healthy algorithms

Feeds or recommendation engines will not involve toxic algorithms.

Respect for law and rights

An ecosystem that genuinely respects European law and fundamental rights in the service of democratic participation and governance.
