@_elena @EUCommission Es scheint als wäre WSocial für die EU-Kommission ein Fortschritt, während hier bei Mastodon niemand nachvollziehen kann, warum die nicht einfach Allin gehen und konsequent das Fediverse pushen. Wahrscheinlich weil der Step für die X- und Bluesky-Menschen zu groß erscheint.

@_elena @EUCommission So, if you don't have an Android(like) OS on your phone/tablet/TV or iOS on your phone/iPad OS on your tablet you cannot get a Wsocial account?
But you should be able to use a Eurosky account interact with to Wsocial users, right? As both use the AT Protocol which includes federation functionality.
And Eurosky only requires an email address to register an account.

@_elena @EUCommission lol, fighting against
age verification or identity verification, but also asking passport & id verification for Europe apps at the name of decentralization.

@_elena @EUCommission W referred as wicked social?

@EUCommission @_elena after reading about this I just opened a Eurosky "MU" account instead. Will stay on Mastodon but may migrate my BlueSky account to MU: https://mu.social/profile/daveeveritt.eurosky.social
@cubeExplorer @EUCommission @_elena And in theory you should be able to use a Eurosky account and MU to connect and interact with Wsocial users?
Both use the AT Protocol.

> "No further comment necessary."The irony stings: 'Digital Sovereignty' tied to foreign app stores, and 'security' meaning surveillance.
These contradictions do demand deeper explanation. -
