@_elena do you think you can make some posts on Reddit too? Buyfromeu sub doesn't seem like it's informed about it
@_elena @EUCommission @aral hmm. I get it is not great. But is it better than meta? Most of my family and friends use meta services. So if it could be an alternative I could leave meta for a better option. Even though it isnt perfect
@Fabirucho Eurosky is around, based on ATproto, European infrastructure, is open source and doesn't require ID verification
@_elena @EUCommission @aral W Social has all the checkmarks for a scam to collect public funding...
Please use the money to found open source project that actually do work for all europeans (and humanity in general).
Of course, because the EU has never had a problem with what the US does domestically in terms of things like surveillance, information control, censorship etc, they just want to be able to do it for themselves.
This was definitely NOT on my bingo card for this year:
European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen taking a moment between G7 meetings to promote the launch of the closed-source, for-profit network #WSocial.
I fear this may be a harbinger of things to come: MANDATORY AGE VERIFICATION for social media across Europe. I hope I'm wrong on this.
Latest SCOOP on #WSocial:
The European Commission Spokesperson for tech sovereignty Thomas Reigner just migrated his ATproto account from Bluesky (open source) to W Social (closed-source). How ironic!

And now excuse me as I go pick up my child from daycare. I'll be intermittently online for the rest of the day. Thank you for all your boosts and comments!
