@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. -

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 I expect "George" magazine to merge with "W" to form "Bush".

@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"… 🤮

Advertising W here… Read the room perhaps?
Welcome to Web 4.0 where all your web activity will be tracked, linked to your verified identity tied to some hardware root of trust AND monetized in one big swoop for YOUR benefit. Unverified = no OS or web access. We’ve partnered with Google and Cloudflare et al to ensure that you won’t be bothered by unverified people ever again. Kids will be safe on Web 4.0.

@EUCommission "Open"?
Merely inventing your own, in-house, probably closed, "network" and declaring it "open" is delusional.
Federation is the *coming-together* of people's instances, joined by common purpose. That's openness in practice.

@EUCommission A social media with an advisory guy working at Sam Altman's eye-ball-scanning company?
"Privacy" yeah sure
I'll pass thx
-
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
Oh no, thanks. A VC-funded, closed source, falsely open social network? You can, and must, do better than endorsing it. -
@EUCommission Yeah, promoting a platform that intends to become a nazi bar is certainly a good idea /s
@marlin @EUCommission that plus they have the explicit intent of collecting as much PII as possible in order to make money off selling it lmao
“digital sovereignty” my ass. ah yeah instead of relying on imports of fashtech, lets make our own sovereign nationalist fashtech!! what a stellar proposition

@EUCommission I'm glad you're working on getting reach, please don't abandon this place
I promise the w3 standards won't let you down, even if some of the people here can sometimes be a bit uh, demanding at times haha, I promise they mean well! -

@EUCommission dear EU Commission and VdL:
eurosky exists.
why go to a walled garden, isn't the sovereignty tech fund all about open source? what's so open about WSocial?

@EUCommission if you did your research, you would stay far away from W instead of promoting it.

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu putting the W in Why
-
@EUCommission If EU Commission migrating their Bluesky account to W Social isn't a perfect example showing how European Commission has been captured by corporate interests then I don't know what is. To someone increasingly interested in democratic systems, it's so obvious to see just that. Disappointed is to say nothing.
@Frisk @EUCommission and this is literally a day after killing the "Stop Destroying Videogames" initiative.

@EUCommission you had every opportunity to choose eurosky and instead chose somewhere with so many red flags, including their marketing spreading disinformation. I can only hope this horrid implementation of W is a massive fail. I also wonder if this is the result of simple lobbying or outright corruption.
