#atproto — Public Fediverse posts

Want an update on the Weekend at Bernie’s clown show that is W Social? No? Me neither, but here we are…

So before we start, let’s recount the whole dystopian raison d’être of these Davosian clowns: to be a EU®opean “alternative to X” that ­– cue the 1984 theme tune – verifies your identity to ensure that only “real people” are on it (real is what your government says it is).

Now, let’s fast forward to last week, when TikTok set up an account on W Social.

That’s nice, isn’t it? One surveillance capitalist lending their support to another? Kumbaya and all that. The only problem? (spoiler alert), it wasn’t TikTok. (Shocking, I know.)

The account, Identity Verified™ by EU X – sorry, W Social, was a spam account and immediately labelled as such by BlueSky moderators. (Don’t you love a “decentralised” system where a post on an EU server, accessed from another EU server, is moderated by our benevolent Big Brother in Trumpland, by the way? I know it just warms the cockles of my heart. So much sovereignty! But I digress…)

So @_elena calls them out (someone has to while @EUCommission is busy preparing for their honeymoon after expressing their undying devotion to W Social recently on every social platform¹):

Anna Zeiter – W CEO, Stanford’s own, and ex-eBay executive (such sovereignty) – replies with this absolute zinger:

> “We are just verifying if some [sic] is a human and at least 18 years old. Users are then free to choose their own user name. This (human) user apparently chose the name TikTok.“ (https://mu.social/profile/anna.wsocial.eu/post/3mqoepm7m2k2z)

Read that as many times as you like until it really sinks in.

These incompetent clowns (dangerous competent clowns but incompetent clowns nevertheless) make people go through a ridiculous 13-step identity verification stage² and then… umm… you get to choose whatever identity you want.

🤡🤡🤡

Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad they’re incompetent. It would be worse if they were competent, given they’re a closed-source venture-capital-funded startup determined to prove your identity.

> “Yes we have a business model, it’s not a philanthropy, we are not a B corp, we actually want to make money.” – Anna Zeiter³

But, what I want to know is this: Why has @EUCommission embraced a proprietary, closed-source, corporate ghost town with 14,300 accounts, 90% of which have not posted even once (in other words, with only 1,259 accounts that have ever posted)⁴ when there is a thriving non-corporate fediverse with millions of active people on it.

Could it have anything to do with identity verification, surveillance, and control?

And if so, why can’t they even get that right?

Looking forward to seeing how long @EUCommission can drag the corpse of W Social around before people realise it’s dead.

Oh, and how does this make the whole “European alternatives” thing look? Not good. Not because there aren’t excellent European alternatives but because the folks at the commission are either too clueless or too corrupt to recognise and support them.

So, yeah, how’s your Monday going?

Sharing this! Wish I'm not late for #IETF126

Tangled found PDS doesn't fit well for contributions even with upcoming permissioned space spec.
So, we are planning to store record-like data outside of PDS, in Knot. This is a post explaining the reasons & upstream spec change we need.

I dunno if this is a big deal to anybody else, but it's huge for me. It's the culmination of everything I've been working on this year. The game dev feeds and labeler, HappyView, Pentaract, Cartridge... it's all been for this.

I am SO excited to release soon and start onboarding studios. 😎
#atproto

Y'ALL OMGOMGOMGOMG

I just did the first full, successful game migration for a @[email protected] game record via @[email protected]. I am OVER THE FUCKING MOON right now. 🥳

God, I've been working toward making this possible (and easy!) for so long. Like... pre-AtmosphereConf.
#atproto

at://birb.house/games.gamesgam...

I don't *want* to run a PDS but it solves the "Sign Up" issue easily.

(should this be a discussion on discourse.atprotocol.community/ #atproto)

ATProtocol Community

I'm willing to add things to encourage it like:

- restricting client logins
- restricting what lexicons are permitted to be written/accessed
- setting storage limits

People don't migrate if they don't have a reason. But the thing is, WHERE do they migrate to? #atproto

I keep getting the feeling that running my own PDS for my services is the only durable way for folks who aren't #ATProto -pilled to get into things. Like migration from PDS to PDS being relatively easy is enough of an anchor to do so.

Pas très clair l'article. Ça y est c'est enfin vraiment décentralisé ou non #atproto ?/ #bluesky ?

Car il me semblait que eurosky c'était juste un PDS mais que si demain bluesky ferme ben, y a plus. Mais ça a ptete bougé.

Le protocole a l'air intéressant pour se connecter à des services hein, mais en l'etat, mu.social c'est juste une interface + pds c'est ça ?

Huh, interesting. Bluesky the company trademarked the name of "AT Protocol" as "primarily a defensive measure" against abuse.

Going forward, "most everyday use cases [won't] require a license".

Is account to existing account mirroring a thing between activitypub and atproto? I’d also take a solution that is app specific (mastodon to bluesky) but basically what I want is post to mastodon and have that post also go to my bluesky account without me needing to look at bluesky. It would be nice if there were a hashtag I could use to trigger the mirroring too…surely this has been done??
