Good that you are continuesly sharing that.Reminds me of a similar, but also totally different aspect:
German GREEN-Party is officially buying Palantir surveillance software where ever they are in power. Their members reject that mostly asking to skip Palantir in favour of "European software".With your W-social documentation you show very well that "European Software" is not a standard as such - depends from case to case if beneficiary or not and that needs to be very deeply investigated. And you might come up with the great finding that the European is as shitty as the American equivalent)
Thank you for putting the torch where it hurts (my learning: if VonDerLeyen is promoting something, stay away. If the German GREEN party suggest something, start screaming 😉)

Dear friends,
Please gather around for a long post about #WSocial and how they are responding to critiques.
I have noticed a trend: W Social leaders and staunch supporters are describing any critical posts about the company as "targeted disinformation." Its CEO said they will soon have a technical solution in place for this. Oh?!?
🔗: https://mu.social/profile/anna.wsocial.eu/post/3mtqufy6g4s2r
I suppose the "targeted disinformation" claims are about recent posts by the likes of me and @pallenberg about troubling hate speech that is allowed on W Social.
Claims backed by hard evidence, in the form of screenshots and video captures. (I am increasingly doing screen recordings of problematic posts and interactions by W Social people because they have a tendency to delete evidence - like an infamous comment on a video by the Instutute for Remigration).
⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️
Discrediting sources, renaming evidence as "disinformation" and creating a victim narrative has a long, storied history.
⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️
But I'm digressing. I speak up about W Social because:
Mainstream media runs PR fluff about them;
Horrid hate speech on the platform is completely unmoderated.
W Social is currently showing the limits of free speech absolutism. Its CEO wrote: "We don’t need W to become another echo chamber."
Reminds you of something?
Atmosphere user @echna.bsky.social astutely remarked that "W Social is on an X speedrun, without ever having been like Twitter."
🔗: https://mu.social/profile/echna.bsky.social/post/3mtqlknzork2t
Bluesky, #Blacksky, and #Northsky have mechanisms in place to report hate speech - and I am super thankful for that.
As of today, I cannot report to W Social posts by their users that contain hate speech.
The W Social moderation list's only purpose is to make a distinction between verified users and bots.
Compare it with Blacksky's moderation list and be amazed (see screenshots).
What's the big deal about the lack of content moderation on #WSocial?
Well, I am haunted by some posts by their users.
A repeat offender (routinely posting racist and xenophobic posts) recently commented "Awesome news" to a newspaper article about a Palestinian family drowning in Sussex.
His profile is still up and he's followed by W Social's CEO and its co-founder Ingmar Renzhog (yes I have evidence of this, via a video capture - so even if they unfollow him or delete his account, well, I have proof of my claim).
I agree with "Echna" that W Social is on an X speedrun, allowing racist, transphobic and xenophobic posts. Evidence:
🔗: https://mu.social/profile/elenarossini.com/post/3mth3hwhvzs26
Instead of addressing these critiques head-on - and moderating hate speech - the W Social co-founders are lamenting being subjected to a "targeted disinformation" campaign.
Oh ok?
IMHO free speech absolutism ultimately only coddles far right extremists and is a very dangerous thing.
Would you call this disinformation?
Special thanks to my #GoToSocial account for allowing this message all in one go, without having to break it up in a hundred-post thread.
TL;DR: W Social is taking a dark turn real fast.

Oh wow, a spectacular example of election misinformation on Bluesky. Their #1 trending topic right now ("Farage wins Clacton seat") is a lie: the polls are still open for hours.
Eurosky's mu.social also reports the misinformation; blacksky.community, by contrast, doesn't. Yet another win for Blacksky trust & safety!

i wish #blacksky the best of luck, i got nothing but good vibes from them and for them, but the problem is the tech is "decentralized," ie, not truly #decentralized
and of course as the main show #bluesky trends #techbro #fascist it will turbocharge blocks and limitations and drag them into what? into isolation

Is there a #Blacksky but for blogs? Like a collective of minority bloggers? A database/webring? I know I can add Bluesky folks to my RSS reader, but I enjoy reading longer form stuff

For anyone not keeping up with the latest development, Blacksky is not only running their own ATProto stack, they are now supporting other communities through their Acorn program.

Blacksky continues to build independence from Bluesky the company with beta versions of their own mobile apps.

@aral @_elena @EUCommission I wonder if the shareholders were aware that #WSocial have not bothered to implement the entire #ATProto stack, incl. "labeling" (aka the moderation layer)? If you only self-host your PDS, of course you'll remain by default under the jurisdiction of bsky moderators. #Blacksky for eg. have already implemented their own "labeling", so W has no excuse.

#Blacksky : “The focus on #smallcommunity is what's keeping people in, not artificial walls.
Now, they're extending all of that experience to folks who want to run communities on the #opensocialweb in the same way.
With #Acorn, the team is helping other communities drop #drawbridges out of #Bluesky into smaller, community-owned and maintained spaces just like Blacksky.” -
@koen @rrr @Marloezovic De Modal foundation (in NL gevestigd) werkt gestaag aan een Europese infrastructuur. Met EuroSky.social hebben ze een Europese PDS opgezet waardoor de personal data space in Europa staat. Met mu.social hebben ze een eigen microblogging app gelanceerd. De roadmap is publiek, maar gaat gestaag en vedl@sneller dan ik had verwacht. Ook #blacksky heeft veel werk verzet om onafhankelijke infrastructuur te bouwen. Net als #northsky
