@Gargron @EUCommission What is up with this one-letter social platform naming convention 🫠
@ayo @Gargron @EUCommission perhaps it has something to do with https://m

@Gargron @EUCommission What is up with this one-letter social platform naming convention 🫠
And why did they not call it “Y”?

@EUCommission It's kind of crazy that Mastodon never got this kind of promotion and endorsement, unlike this 4 month old platform that came out of nowhere.
@Gargron
I agree.
@EUCommission -
Whether here on our Mastodon server, or on ATproto with new W profile
@ec.europa.eu – we look forward to staying connected with you.@EUCommission I join the others that hope that this is just an extension of the channels and that your presence on ec.social-network.europa.eu and the Fediverse stays

@ec.europa.eu – we look forward to staying connected with you.@EUCommission drop AT proto. Otherwise lol, same shit again.

We believe true digital sovereignty thrives on a competitive, contestable, open ecosystem where diverse platforms co-exist.
Today, we’re expanding our presence to W, the new social media. By being on W, we want to boost alternatives and support all efforts toward a decentralised web.
And we continue to invest into our presence on the Fediverse!
@EUCommission Why so much support for the company behind @wsocial.eu and none for the foundation behind @eurosky.social ?

@EUCommission was a thorough DPIA done on W before using it?

@Gargron Mastodon is built in a way that it can escape the grasp of a controlling government. @EUCommission

You should have named it M-Social. @EUCommission -

@Gargron Well, I guess it helps that both Eurosky (which started as one giant GDPR violation and only decided to become 'european' after failing to raise millions for their global platform) and W-Social have a shocking amount of vocal support from a number of politicians that should stay far away from this.
It pains me especially to see members of the European Greens shill for them.

@ayo @Gargron @EUCommission I guess Mastodon shall have been called "A"

@EUCommission What is this attempt to re-invent the wheel?

@ec.europa.eu – we look forward to staying connected with you.@EUCommission do you know w social code has gone private? How that fits with the open source commitment? Are you sure there's data sovereignty on all w social stack?

This ensuing discussion below has me asking why in general that no one complaining about EU decisions (in the western hemisphere) seems to discuss the possible corruption behind such decisions more often. Possible business winners. Possible nation victors. Surveillance state, surveillance capitalism. Favoritism. Erosion of privacy and security

W is not decentralized. It's the lie Bsky keeps repeating.

@EUCommission The „W“ is for „Why tho?“. We do have a free, open, decentralised fediverse, already.

@EUCommission
No thanks. We choose to respect our digital rights. It is sad you don't. -

@ec.europa.eu – we look forward to staying connected with you.@EUCommission No thanks, I'll stick with a true open-source, European platform.

@EUCommission Sorry, not going to use it. Totally fed up with the idea of more social media platforms.
