To become independent from X, @EUCommission is betting on … #WSocial, a sort of revamped BlueSky with exactly 3388 users with at least one post.

To become independent from X, @EUCommission is betting on … #WSocial, a sort of revamped BlueSky with exactly 3388 users with at least one post.

@elena is trying to alert people about this comical disaster:

Which is now even more nonsensical as they inadvertently invented BoratCasting !

#WBoratCasting Is Very Nice European Technology for Make Benefits Glorious Nations of Brussels!

I think one thing should be absolutely clear: I DO NOT want a European Google.

If your idea of opposing what is happening in the US is simply to build a copy of it in the EU, you can go fuck yourself right now.

@uriel : you should not assume you understand the content of a blog post based on your understanding of the title alone.

Reading the blog post first would have spared you some useless swearing.

I can only wish that, in time, you may acquire the ability to give a post a title worthy of its contents — an ability which, at present, you quite conspicuously lack.

@uriel

With your language skills, you might feel more at home on a site that identifies itself with 1 character.
