  1. Als Tiger gestartet (wenn die politische Unterstützung durch von der Leyen nicht auch ein Fake war) und nun als Bettvorleger gelandet.

    Eine abgestandene Jauche aus Nazi-Posts und Fake-Followern.

    Braucht das wer?

    Im verlinkten Artikel steht W Social sei ein "Trittbrettfahrer der digitalen Souveränität".

    Sehr treffend.

    Das Fediverse existiert und es braucht keinen weiteren Aufguss des proprietären walled garden Bluesky.

  3. RE: mastodon.social/@pallenberg/11

    W Social verkauft sich als demokratische europäische X-Alternative – und rollt gleichzeitig genau den falschen Leuten den Teppich aus: Weidel willkommen, Sellner-Content gefeiert, rechte Netzwerke inklusive.

    Saschas Podcast dazu ist sehr hörenswert: sauber recherchiert, verständlich erklärt und gerade deshalb ziemlich entlarvend.

    Att Bluesky tappar aktiva användare och användare som bland annat Techcrunch skrivit om är inget märkligt utan ganska naturligt. När ett socialt medienätverk eller programvara som Bluesky/ATmosphere eller Mastodon/Fediversum expanderar kraftigt så är registreras all nya användare som aktiva användare.

    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 😉)

  24. 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:

    1. Mainstream media runs PR fluff about them;

    2. 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.

  32. @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.

    Hi,
    she says that they're a #network of #tolerance & #AliceWeidel & other #rightwingers are more than welcome & they don't want to be a #leftist #bubble

    And that #bluesky is boring bc of blocklists

    She claims they have no #bots on #wsocial - which is not true

    And they are onto your #ID by #realnameregistration - which is pictured as a protective measure for the user

    And… they spin the story that #Twitter was great before #Musk bought is 🙄 & that we need a #european #Alternative
