  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.

  10. The Programmer’s Fulcrum 4 September, 2026

    Welcome to this week's The Programmer's Fulcrum. It's your weekly curation of the essential news in the Open Media Network and Open Social development communities with a focus on devastating big tech via Techno Anarchism. This post originally appeared on The Fulcrum. As usual, we aim to provide actionable content you can use to destroy Techno Feudalism each week. It has the additional benefit of weakening authoritarianism. IMHO, the best way to do that is to use tools from the Techno […]

  13. #WSocial: "We want to promote European digital sovereignty. We're made in Europe, for the world!"

    @EUCommission: "A strong Europe needs independent digital spaces. Today, we’re expanding our presence to W."

    W Social: "You need to verify your identity. Please download our #WIdentity app from Apple's App Store or Google's Play Store"

  14. “My fear is that W Social is just another for-profit Big Tech startup that happens to be based in the EU. We don’t need that. We don’t need more European surveillance capitalists and people farmers. We need ethical alternatives working for the common good.”

    – Yours truly, in @_elena’s excellent exposé on W Social.

    blog.elenarossini.com/w-social

    Do read the article to the end, especially noting the bit about the composition of their board of advisors, which includes an ex-Google AI lead and an ex-Paypal Chief [Violate Your] Privacy Officer who now works at Tools for Humanity (Sam Altman’s “Sci-fi dystopia? Hold my beer…” identity farming startup that wants to scan your eyeballs).

  15. RE: mastodon.social/@_elena/116645

    Who’s behind W Social?

    Folks like this:

    “Ingmar Rentzhog, an entrepreneur who claims he found and helped develop the Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg into a world phenomenon, also used her name to bring in almost SEK 10 million in venture capital for his company - without her knowledge, SvD has found. ‘We had no information about that’c says Svante Thunberg, the teenager’s father.”

    ***

    “I'd venture to say that Rentzhog has a talent for spotting trends tied to societal causes - climate change, European digital sovereignty - and harnessing media attention to build businesses around them.”

    @_elena

    Is Europe-washing a term? Because it should be.

  16. A fluff view of current tech we need to compost

    You know, when people are heading over a cliff, I'm more than happy to be "left behind". This story is #openwashing, not innovation. “New European social network” is actually a fork of #Bluesky wrapped in sovereignty language, as Elena Rossini says with the same #dotcons logic - PR-first launch (Davos), reality comes later (or never). This tech mess illustrates, if people start with branding, funding, and media narrative instead of community and process, it’s not #openweb - it’s […]
