    Guess I'm mainly wondering what is in it for Leyen if she backs W?

    They're not a huge company and barely anyone uses them, there's no ethical or practical advantage in using them, so why does she care so much?

    Very grateful to @_elena for digging 🙂

    @FediThing the fact that the European Commission took YEARS to add the Mastodon + Bluesky logos to their footer (replacing X) and yet as soon as they moved from Bluesky to W’s server they IMMEDIATELY added the W logo in place of the Bluesky one.

    I literally screamed out loud when I saw it! (my poor husband is always like: « what’s wrong ? »)

    I've never really liked von der Leyen, so I'd guess it was the standard reason for caring - either money now or the promise of a well remunerated position in big tech once she's finished in politics. Neither would be a good look.
