#wsocial was announcing a top-down approach to get their #network working & they are doing it

In the #Blick article #AnnaZeiter explains why #AliceWeidel & other #Nazis are welcome to her #socialmedia #platform https://www.blick.ch/digital/anna-zeiter-bringt-twitter-alternative-w-social-auch-alice-weidel-ist-willkommen-id22026157.html

wSocial tries to become a new #Tech #empire by pulling on their personal networks & riding the problematic term of #European #Sovereignty

#Lobbying the #rich & #powerful seems to pay out in the #EuropeanUnion ¯\(°_o)/¯

@Katika A part of me is wondering why they need to build yet another closed garden instead of joining the Fediverse. On the other hand, we do perfectly fine without them. It's just gonna be another BlueSky, but run by European sycophants to the rich and powerful rather than US ones. Different lipstick, same pig.

Well #Foss & #Fediverse are just no money spinners...

#wsocial & Co seem to be up for #data, #money & #influence

#decentral #networks are important #social #infrastructure but no good #playground for #tech #oligarchy

And not as perfect to pitch as an " #ai " training ground...
