Why is it always these efforts are little private things or not for profit initiatives? Just have it be an official EU government backed identity. I'm all for having a part of the internet that's anarchic, but I think we need to accept that for productive national conversation (and some digital services) at scale to happen online identities need to be verified and platforms need to be designed for people not for engagement.

That is the exact opposite of what you need. Loss of anonymity creates chilling effects that stifle conversation.

AI bots/spam are a problem, but don't solve it by creating an even worse problem.

What is the value of this other than it being EU based?

https://eurosky.tech/about/ has more details, but the goal appears to be to try to foster a thriving European social web.

I think it is part of the growing digital sovereignty trend (the country based one, not the self-sovereign identity one)

I agree the homepage is a weak sell, but an independent operator in Europe IS value. If it doesn’t really make a difference otherwise, why not choose a home server that is governed by and supports your home region of Europe? (obviously there are other things that would make a difference, but you gotta start somewhere)

Let me phrase out one "American" word that should explain it all for you: INDEPEDNECE.
