mastodon - Collegamento all'originale

This bizarre, hurried cut-and-paste Bluesky clone called "W" (wsocial.eu) says it will fill this huge gap in Europe where no social media platforms exist.

Meanwhile... umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/f…

Why do I say it's hurried?
A notr on the sign up page for wsocial reads "This service has not provided terms of service or a privacy policy."

Let's see what's trending on the EU-focused social media platform.

Delroy Lindo - British actor, so thanks for having us back, good to be European again.
Davos Forum - no comment
Trump's Board of Peace - even less comment
Mets Trade - Ah yes, the Malmo Mets. Love 'em.
Swerve Strickland - almost Swedish.
AEW Dynamite - EU sure is - ahem - "wrestling" with digital sovereignty

To be clear, I'm all for any and all platforms pushing for digital sovereignty, but this feels like a brash attempt to undercut Eurosky and get something, anything, on the board for Davos. There appears to be funding.

Governments can't fund what they don't know about.

If European digital sovereignty is important to you, start writing some emails to the people you think might be funding this.

Some background: bilanz.ch/people/w-social-will…

Them using hats saying "Make Europe Great Again" says it all. It's not rejecting fascism, it's emulating it.

Maybe it's a nod to the power of the fediverse: all these instances (even m.s) are so small they disappear once you zoom out enough on the map with very little power concentration compared to the logos listed 🙂

Can't believe this rushed bullshit got mass media coverage.
