German concert promoters band together to launch a new fund to secure a diverse future for the industry. A solution for Switzerland, too? We talked to the experts.

My take on the internet handle scandal, a quick idea that came to me during my evening walk: "Log in with your .social account"
"Log in with your .social account"
The hot topic of the moment is how to brand the neutral ATProto account in a way that it understandable for non-technical users. Stil another idea: the ".social account"

This year on Bluesky I wrote 114 posts and 45 replies. I received 535 likes, whereas 40 was from my most popular post, and apparently I love saying "music" and 💜!

And I was serious about cool culture experiences.

eg @hilk.eu wants to get more musicians on board. How do we make cultural experiences that work for them AND have enough cachet that “internet handles” resonate.

I just submitted to present at #ATmosphereConf. Throwing some ideas under the storyline: "An artist dreaming in the Atmosphere: visions about community, sustainability and creativity"

This is a wonderful release from someone from my music bubble, which I would have completely missed without us musicians taking back agency over our feed and community. We convinced Flurina to get more active on Bluesky and the Swiss music scene feed unearthed this gem for me today 💜

If you believe Meta is any better than X, think again. Both companies actively assist the US regime in exporting the contemporary US far-right political project to Europe and the rest of the world.
If you say “Leave X,” you also have to say “Leave Instagram” and “Leave Facebook.”

Meta is mass banning queer and sex positive accounts in Europe with no justification besides “this goes against our community guidelines”.

If @flashes.blue had an event integration with @smokesignal.events it could trigger a shift in the queer community to use ATproto for organizing.

Our lives shouldn't be online only. The main reason I make music is to connect with other people. Therefore, playing shows for you is the biggest gift. Two more shows this year. We hope to see you there

1. Missouri prefiled bills are in, and the anti-trans panic continues.

One even goes as far as to ban social transition in schools.

Any teacher who "supports" it, including name changes, pronouns, or "treatment," would be fired.

Even with parent permission!

New Missouri Bill Would Ban "Social Transition" In Schools, Even With Parental Permission
The bill defines social transition as name changes and pronouns, and would disallow any "conduct that facilitates" such social transition.

A good brainstorm yesterday on how to get more artists on bluesky. Send postcards to friends with new year resolutions: I want to see your art/music on bluesky instead of doomscrolling AI slop on IG #bskyJanuary

Thanks for having me! @eurosky.social as a mix of government / policy / media / builders was a really great event.

Gives me a lot of hope & energy to see the interest in the room. We can do better than #WurstSky!
