Why would the EU get behind W Social, a European social media platform that barely exists, rather than Mastodon, a European social media platform that has been successfully operating for a decade?

@miss_rodent @jalefkowit yeah, sigh, that sounds right. "the standard you walk past is the standard you accept"
@ireneista @miss_rodent @jalefkowit Yes, and also choosing one's battles. There's a tension there but there's wisdom in each?

@jalefkowit mastodon has been around for so long and also is different on an idealistic level so I don't think it can compete for the masses.
And I wouldn't say EU hasn't been trying, they have funded mastodon through nlnet and they are trying, @HennaVirkkunen is here.

@jalefkowit I think the issue is that moderation on mastodon is decentralized. That makes it effectively impossible to enforce strict rules from the top down.
People in power will not support a platform that doesn't give them absolute power. -

@xgranade @miss_rodent @jalefkowit these are important questions, but they're backwards-looking. to focus on the future: what should our strategy be?

This is reaching too far into conspiracy theory.
Sounds like W Social simply offers government more chance for, well, governance than something like Mastodon would.
No need to look for drama or personalities. Government wants to govern.

@jalefkowit It's a world wide class war, hopefully patriotism will take a club to nationalism and everyone bands together to topple the overlords from the chairs.
