Dear Fedi friends,
-
@shemjm @_elena @EUCommission indeed, looks vibe coded.
@hbons @shemjm @_elena @EUCommission I was just about to say, why does it look like the intern just discovered html?
-
@Razemix well, ATproto is not like the Fediverse, to be truly independent and sovereign you need to host your own PDS, relay, firehose and moderation (amongst other things). It takes money, resources and expertise. I'm surprised they didn't move to Eurosky TBH
@_elena Yeah, I know, creating a whole separate stack would be an overkill. They could definitely leverage Eurosky in this regard. What I'm saying is that at least having their own PDS (to have control over their data) should be an absolute no-brainer.

@Razemix oh I absolutely agree with you. My jaw is still on the floor...

Dear Fedi friends,
Apologies for another toot about #WSocial but I am genuinely shaking right now.
The @EUCommission and its president Ursula von der Leyen have recently migrated their ATproto (Bluesky) accounts to W Social.
I cannot fathom why they would pick a private enterprise whose leaders didn't even have ATproto accounts 3 months ago... and who are so open to having their users' data mined to train European AI models.
My articles on them:
: https://blog.elenarossini.com/tag/w-social/Wow. Just wow.
@_elena @EUCommission On the ATmosphere, I have a Eurosky account. It may be better, but they just launched a new ATproto Web interface which requires age declaration...

@_elena don't apologize
@EUCommission should explain their choice -

For context, my two articles on #WSocial didn't include some explosive things I found out in my research because:
- I was given some information on background, confidentially
- I found a particular thread to be a bit distracting (aka the MEGA hats sold on a website with far right paraphernalia)Plus there are so many white lies... a pattern of misrepresentation that makes it really hard for me to trust them.
Do I have to write a THIRD article about W now? 🫠

@_elena@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu I really try to be hopeful, but time and time again they show themselves to be absolute ghouls. -

@Gina @hbons @shemjm @_elena @EUCommission that's clearsky.app which is just a random tool someone made early on that can show some info about peoples Bluesky accounts

@liaizon yes, Clearsky may not be the best designed website, but it's SO USEFUL!
