@EUCommission It's kind of crazy that Mastodon never got this kind of promotion and endorsement, unlike this 4 month old platform that came out of nowhere.

@_elena has a good nose. Somethings are not adding up. Feels off.

The Untold Story About W Social: Unconventional Beginnings, Strategic Pitches and Conflicting Signals

A deep dive into the origin story of W Social, an analysis of the strategic arguments they have been using to appeal to government officials, media companies and advertisers... and the discussion of conflicting signals they have been sending

I was shocked to read @_elena recent blog on the #wsocial

How can EU politicians and public institutions choose the social media platform that suddenly vanished from Github when they recently prioritized open source in their Tech Sovereignty package!

This should catch fire. 🔥

W Social, Public Institutions and the Theater of European Digital Sovereignty

European public institutions are betting big on digital sovereignty and open source software. And yet they recently moved their Bluesky accounts to W Social, a private, for profit network owned by Swedish entrepreneurs that has quietly gone closed-source.

"Cycling on the road can be dangerous too, but we nonetheless have taken a different approach here: there is no minimum age to ride a bike. Instead, we legislate to adapt the environment and making our roads safer, we instruct our children on how to follow our traffic rules and we provide them protection, with helmets and bright lights, all while cycling next to them."

"we need to know your age" no you don't

You already know my habits, my marital status, my job and future prospects, how many kids I have (or want), where I live, who I live with, who I live around, who my parents are, how much money I make, how much money my parents made, what kind of car I drive (or don't), what food I buy at the store, how long I've had my bank account, what kind of computers I've used, what books I read, what kind of laundry detergent I buy, what my favorite color is, who my favorite artist is, what my favorite show is, and what my favorite historical period is.

You don't need my age, you took everything else.
