@Wuzzy@cyberplace.social if mastodon exist, why create wsocial that look like mainstream social media

[kilroy_was_here@dobbs.town]

@Wuzzy More like WTF social.

"WTF do you exist!?!"

@xgranade @Wuzzy @alice

Good point. Bluesky is going to have to make some money someday. Their only play is as an AI data merchant. You are their product.

@Wuzzy I don't even want to post my full name on social media!

So why would I want to give any social media platform my passport? 🤯

@Wuzzy W social more like L social

[punissuer@universeodon.com]

@LukefromDC @Wuzzy That's the main selling point, IMHO – federation and open source make the Fediverse enshittification-proof.
Whereas "L" Social is backed by private investors who *will* demand return on their investment soon.

@Wuzzy
Who even says you should?

[s0x41@mas.to]

@Wuzzy There's nothing wrong with a particlar platform to be centered around a specific demographic.

[arnan@mas.to]

@Wuzzy never even heard of w social, but it sounds like crap the way you compare it. Stupid name too.

[nzlemming@mastodon.nz]

@ahimsa_pdx I'm happy to use my full name, but giving up my passport details is a step too far. @Wuzzy

[ddritter@neopaquita.es]

@Wuzzy Until yesterday I did not even hear about this "another closed social network". Maybe we should stop talking about them. Even bad publicity is publicity.

[madargon@is-a.cat]

@Wuzzy I wondered the same about Bluesky. When it was new, it didn't have network effects so nobody "had to" be there. Nobody had a reason to join. But many people did it and now there are complaints "but i cannot leave, I have connections there" when Bluesky also started Nazi bar pipeline, platforming hate speach and banning Black and queer voices. Like how the hell people still didn't learn only way to win is not to play... That time they COULD avoid this toxic cycle.

[gokushrm@mastodon.social]

@Wuzzy what is w social?

[ariarhythmic@ohai.social]

@Wuzzy there is actually no point

[svenja@mstdn.games]

@Wuzzy Mastodon: doesn't need an app to even register. WSocial: without our fancyshmancy app you won't even be able to click an account.

Ursula is there.

[zer0unplanned@friendica.rogueproject.org]

@musevg @Wuzzy She is reading right now..

[kgmadee2@mathstodon.xyz]

@musevg @Wuzzy that's more of an incentive to stay away, isn't it

[torf@c.im]

@Wuzzy @Herman The problem is that a lot of people don't even realize there is anything beyond corporate proprietary crap.
