@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 certainly has smells of either lobbyism (or worse) or digital cluelessness (or worse) …

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!
Run by a handful of private companies? Closed source?.Yeah, right. Won't be using that.
-
@EUCommission how bizarre to be promoting a random VC-funded social network when you've barely put the same effort into promoting Mastodon. This has a shady feeling to it.
@Gina @EUCommission yeah, someone knows something about a big shot, or someone is getting money from all this. The amount of PR is off-putting, especially now they're claiming to go for open source

@EUCommission The fact that something is European doesn't make it automatically good and ethical. We do not need another proprietary and closed platform, which welcomes AFD.
Promoting W is stupid and against the values of the EU.

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu What the fuck is W?
@julie @EUCommission X but European.

@EUCommission couldn't build your ID verification crap onto Mastodon huh? Good!

@EUCommission Cheering happily about being deceived by a bunch of grifters is perfectly EU.

@EUCommission What safeguards are there that prevent W from enshitifying?
What prevents W from taking the same path that Twitter did?
Based on their own description:
"It is built by a pan-European team of experienced entrepreneurs and investors from the media, technology, and AI sectors."What safeguards are there to prevent the eventual data-harvest to feed the LLM models, that happened with social mediums such as Reddit?
I don't see any features that make W better than Mastodon
@petrikas @EUCommission None. It’s VC. It’s already been sold.

@makeratschool Do you have a link, please?

@EUCommission I’m going to stick with Mastodon. It’s nice to be part of a community that’s a bit offbeat, yet lovely and friendly.
-
@Gina @EUCommission Yeah, it feels as if a particular lobby/company is pushing to do a "wij van WC-eend" with their platform.
*Wij van VC-eend

@EUCommission haha
This is a joke!Right?
You don't expect people here to follow you on venture capital funded, forced id upload, welcome to afd Nazis network??@coba
A cruel one, played on us. -

@EUCommission I wonder why you push that so hard and you never mentioned or used @alugha which is here since 2014...
-
@EUCommission No thanks, I wouldn't touch a proprietary, for-profit, VC-funded, surveillance capitalism, "social-media" just because you wrongly claim it's "open ecosystem"
It's so toxic by design I wouldn't even approach it wearing level A Personal Protective Equipment…
Let alone the fact it was named after Musk's nazi bar "X"… 🤮
