Oct 18, 2026, 8:16 AM@onepict I've already published 6 articles about them and I'm feeling super guilty this clown show is taking time away from me promoting the Fediverse: https://blog.elenarossini.com/tag/w-social/
But no one in mainstream media is covering W in a fair way... therefore I persist 🥲
Oct 18, 2026, 8:26 AM@_elena It is a shame for the fediverse, but by covering the corruption and incompetence by W you're helping the folks and their groups on the fediverse and beyond.
This is a massive threat to their users privacy and the EU is complicit in it's promotion of W.
Questions need to be asked of both.
The fact that the W fanboys are bullying tells us you are having an impact.
We can point at your series, it's asking serious questions that W can't or won't answer.
Oct 18, 2026, 8:29 AM@onepict thank you Esther 🥲
I've been really disturbed by how a bunch of corporates launched their open social network in DAVOS, tried to hide the source code came from Bluesky, then quietly went closed-source à la Truth Social and now they are cozying up to the European Commission with identity verification. OVER MY DEAD BODY.
Plus they keep messing up in ways big and small
Oct 18, 2026, 8:42 AM@ophiocephalic THANK YOU 🥹
If you knew how much I've been struggling to get mainstream media to report about W's mishaps. I even served up big scoops on a silver platter to several journalists... only to hear that they needed more info or that it was too niche.
"Too niche". The audacity! It's the frigging president of the EU Commission endorsing it :breadunhappy:
Again, thank you for doing the reporting @_elena!

@_elena @veronicavd @onepict Thanks for your persistence!
Already completely forgot about this joke.
It’s hard to keep track of everything trying to compete with Mastodon.
Wo is behind https://mu.social ?
Next week @waag launches https://oso.social (both in collaboration with Eurosky on the AT protocol)
Oct 18, 2026, 9:32 AM@eWalthert Eurosky is behind Mu! and I didn't know about oso.social, sounds AMAZING!
@_elena @veronicavd @onepict @waag And mu.social is supposed to better appeal to the young folks than eruosky.social?
Or rather the young at heart? (I’m reading Proper Cringe, Meme’s and Cat GIFs) 😳
@_elena @onepict Maybe @MarloesdeKoning can help out?
