hi, american here
with my country in the toilet of #plutocracy and #bigotry, i look nowadays to #europe as the beacon of civilization and the free world
but this... this #W thing is #techBro shit in all the ways we despise
this is...
american
if you have an american, calling something american, in terms of the most grotesque of stereotypes as a european would consider, well then you done fucked up
fuck "W"
@benroyce @EUCommission Meanwhile, ActivityPub and OStatus, as well as much of their implementing software, all originate from Europe. Sounds like that would've been the obvious choice.

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 When clicking on post asks me to login/create account instead of opening the post, I know to run away.
Also its proprietary garbage.

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 centralized and closed source... this way, the people in control have the power to decide who to ban, censor, etc.
What's next, mandatory "age" verification all over the web? -

@EUCommission Wie sage ich es freundlich? „Ihr habt sie ja wohl nicht alle!“ Ich kann nur den Kopf schütteln. Ihr habt wahrscheinlich einfach AfD und Schlimmeres verdient. Auf dass Ihr klug werden möget. Möge Gott unseren Seelen gnädig sein.
@padeluun
Bei mir weckt das so ganz quatschige Assoziationen mit "George W."
Geht Euch das nicht auch so?

Sure, you can read the original post, but take a look at the reactions. Or read https://blog.elenarossini.com/the-untold-story-about-w-social-unconventional-beginnings-strategic-pitches-conflicting-signals/
Gaia-x social reboot much?

@EUCommission Please continue investing in an open, decentralised and not-for-profit Web, yes! We know all too well where the alternative leads us.

@EUCommission I’ll skip it, thanks.
Was hoping for a privacy-preserving platform based on open source.
It’s fails on both those counts.
No different from X or Threads. So what’s the point?
A big nope!

@EUCommission instead of truly building a european alternative, the EC favours the same problematic model that brought us into this mess. Disappointed

@EUCommission How about, no thank you? I already have a strong, independent digital space. It's called the Fediverse. Unlike your pretend-independent, it's actually run by people for people.

@EUCommission great! Now EVERYONE is going to know about Mastodon, and now EVERYONE is going to be on the Fediverse, just like everyone was on ʞooqǝɔɐⅎ. The entire herd of zombies is going to turn our social media into trash.
We’re all gonna have to do our part to prevent that !

Oh SO close, but you missed. Reinventing the damaged wheel is the wrong way to go.
Be OPEN. Be FREE. Be SAFE. -

@EUCommission Embarrassing

@ayo @Wesemann @Gargron @EUCommission
But they could have advertised it with guts:
“Be a good citizen! After leaving, tell your X the reason: Y.”
Whereas W just sounds like: Less features, a few yet unclosed vulnerabilities and a bit outdated (although, of course, better than V!)

@EUCommission Why? We are good over here, and federated. No need to reinvent the wheel.

@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 @EUCommission It‘s not about the best technology, it’s about the best network, the best timing, the best funding.
