@Wuzzy Until yesterday I did not even hear about this "another closed social network". Maybe we should stop talking about them. Even bad publicity is publicity.

@Wuzzy I wondered the same about Bluesky. When it was new, it didn't have network effects so nobody "had to" be there. Nobody had a reason to join. But many people did it and now there are complaints "but i cannot leave, I have connections there" when Bluesky also started Nazi bar pipeline, platforming hate speach and banning Black and queer voices. Like how the hell people still didn't learn only way to win is not to play... That time they COULD avoid this toxic cycle.

@Wuzzy what is w social?

[ariarhythmic@ohai.social]

@Wuzzy there is actually no point

[svenja@mstdn.games]

@Wuzzy Mastodon: doesn't need an app to even register. WSocial: without our fancyshmancy app you won't even be able to click an account.

@musevg @Wuzzy that's more of an incentive to stay away, isn't it

@Wuzzy @Herman The problem is that a lot of people don't even realize there is anything beyond corporate proprietary crap.

@rowat_c @Wuzzy

@_elena has some articles written about WSocial.
Maybe it could help for some understanding.

[rowat_c@mastodon.social]

@db_geek @Wuzzy @_elena thanks! The linked article still seems very critical (and rightly so, from what I can tell). I'd like to hope that there's some perspective from which this seems to make sense, so would be interested in hearing that articulated.
