#Mastodon > #WSocial.

#Mastodon > #WSocial.

Mastodon: 100% free software.
W Social. Isn't.

Mastodon: Global, as all cool Internet things should be.
W Social: Eurocentrist. 🤮

Mastodon: Does not want you to hand over your passport.
W Social: Does.

Mastodon: No ads for 10 years.
W Social: Already threatened to introduce ads by 2027.

Why should I register on W Social again? What’s the point?

@Wuzzy Let’s turn it around. I see many reasons for anyone already registered at W to migrate to Mastodon.

[lukefromdc@kolektiva.social]

@Wuzzy I will block any Mastodon server that introduces ads from my feed.

@Herman The funny thing is, I didn't even try to "convince" anyone to join #Mastodon, I was just making fun of the obvious marketing nonsense by #WSocial.

Not everyone has to be on social media and that’s OK. But if you DO want to be on social media, it would be great if it’s NOT some corporate proprietary crap. Trust in proprietary software is what has been destroying the WWW for a long time. Thankfully, free software exists (not just Mastodon). People just need to use it.

@Wuzzy There is no point. Absolutely none.

@Wuzzy I've not followed this W Social story closely, so don't know the "case for the defence". What's the best article for me to read that makes the case for it?

@Wuzzy @alice Plus, unless W Social does a full netsplit, Bluesky will see fit to include everything on W in their training set for Attie.

Bluesky PBLLC appears to believe that ATProto is an API for ingesting data into their AI products, after all.

@Wuzzy@cyberplace.social if mastodon exist, why create wsocial that look like mainstream social media

[kilroy_was_here@dobbs.town]
