#OMN (Open Media Network)A fluff view of current tech we need to compost
You know, when people are heading over a cliff, I'm more than happy to be "left behind". This story is #openwashing, not innovation. “New European social network” is actually a fork of #Bluesky wrapped in sovereignty language, as Elena Rossini says with the same #dotcons logic - PR-first launch (Davos), reality comes later (or never). This tech mess illustrates, if people start with branding, funding, and media narrative instead of community and process, it’s not #openweb - it’s […]https://hamishcampbell.com/a-fluff-view-of-current-tech-we-need-to-compost/
Israa 🌿🇵🇸Damn Israel and damn the war a thousand times! All the aid that entered was cigarettes 🚬, and hospitals and clinics lack medicine and disinfectants, as well as basic food supplies. If it had entered, prices would have decreased. 😡😡😡😡😡
This is their policy of genocide in all its forms; a state of evil and terrorism.

Damián MurañaHablemos un poco del «Open Washing», la práctica de publicar tecnología, software o IA como si fuera de código abierto o software libre cuando realmente no lo es. Redis, Terraform,
ElasticSearch o Android son algunos ejemplos de esto. Sabrán disculpar la calidad del audio, se me rompió el 🎙️ cuando empecé a grabar este episodio.

Elena Rossini ⁂Do you remember the surprise announcement of a new social network in Davos this past January? Something that promised to be the "first" European social network?
Its name is #WSocial and it's a fork of #Bluesky. Its founders have ties with European politicians - but there is no official involvement by the EU.
You wouldn't know any of this from media reports because they all rehashed their talking points. So I wrote a post about it, dispelling some myths:

Elena Rossini on GoToSocial ⁂It didn't take very long...
Special thanks to @mactunag for giving me a heads-up about Bluesky's message on X from November 2025

What I find particularly egregious is that Bluesky already had a custom feed builder: #Graze was an independent project that had proved to be super popular. They had raised a million dollars just last year! They even sponsored the AtmosphereConf last week. Then Bluesky PBC steamrolled over them and announced their own project - Attie - powered by AI... at AtmosphereConf (the event where Graze was listed as a major sponsor - you can't make this up).
A developer for ATProto was horrified by this, writing:
"Why would anyone fund an Atmosphere project if Bluesky, with $100 million in the bank, might ship a competing feature at any moment? Why would a founder bet their career on this ecosystem? The presentation didn't just hurt Graze. It made the entire ecosystem look unfundable."

I am getting A LOT of heat for pointing out shady behaviors by Bluesky PBC. Even from Fedi friends. But I think it's important to be wide-eyed and consider all this mounting evidence of problematic behavior.
just leaving this here...

Markus FeilnerCool, ein Fork! Aber ... da stinkt doch was massiv. Kann mir ein Anwalt mal sagen ob die Lizenz von #onlyoffice das hergibt?
*Update*: This is a rabbit hole of wrong usage of licenses, #narcism, #russia, #openwashing. And such unnecessary waste of money. Weird story. I'll post my findings here...
Imho war Onlyoffice ja nie wirklich #opensource, nur im Marketing von Firmen die das anbieten mussten, mangels Performance. Russensoftware halt. Oder liege ich falsch?
