Dear Fedi friends,
I'm pretty fired up exposing the ridiculousness of #WSocial, a new social network purported to be a European alternative to X that launched at Davos (yikes).
The French press devoted many articles to it (meanwhile: crickets about the Fediverse).
Before I go full steam ahead grabbing domain names and creating a web site that shows the weaknesses of W / suggests to check out the Fediverse instead, I want to put it to you: should I do it?

@_elena Maybe do it in phases, grab the domains just in case, and then add sites if W builds any steam at all? But if there's French media attention there, that time might already have come.

@_elena I think that we need more "why/how you should join the Fediverse" rather than "why you should not use platform X, Y, W".
We (as in: the internet) spoke loudly about why not using certain type of softwares and platform and it didn't really made a substantial difference.
I think we need to focus on bringing people (and make them stay) here rather than scare them about another software or platform.

@_elena Hard to say if it's worth it at this point. Maybe it lands on its face right away, but if it does receive attention and lots of actual people create accounts there, having information about that site would be useful.
Does it need to be its own website in that case? Not sure. -

@_elena in my opinion, it's a waste of energy. I'd rather focus bringing more politicians here

@_elena It’s ironic that the supposed European alternative to X and the answer to independence from U.S. tech is… using “American” ATProto instead of “European” Mastodon.

@_elena Press is often lazy. Coverage is often a matter of whether or not Press media received a ready-to-publish communicate. That's why most private orgs, with com teams, get covered while many communities and public-service associations are not.

@_elena No, please don't. Spend your beautiful energy and time on building and contributing to what we already have.
Don't waste a second on deconstructing, arguing against stuff we don't control.
Make more videos like you did before, the Mastodon / Fediverse intro video. It was beautiful and awesome.
That's what you should do. Build, don't destroy.

@_elena they seem like great domains to start hosting fedi services. they go looking for euro-corp they find international co-op

@palin Europe is finally taking steps toward independence from US IT infrastructure. It’s likely too little, too late, but it’s still a move in the right direction. While I appreciate the effort, I suspect the Fediverse might have been a better solution. That said, I cynically believe this initiative will fail miserably without much outside interference 😅 @ed @_elena

@_elena @nopatience I second that.
A video addressing the nearly 60% of Members of the European Parliament still active on X would be beautiful.
What would happen if prominent politicians had official, active accounts on the Fediverse? Public attention would certainly follow, as would journalists, who are obligated to track and report on political figures.
People don't leave the Fediverse solely because of technical hurdles. Many arrive, look around, and simply don't find enough reasons to stay. Retention is not just a usability problem, but also a matter of social density and relevance. With a sufficiently large and visible group of active participants, the Fediverse could generate its own gravity and flourish beyond the tech-savvy community.

@_elena its probably better not to sabotage EU alternatives, but by grabbing domains the fediverse could be injected into the news cycle, if done with a coherent message to the media.

New social networks are popping up everywhere these days.

@Gina @fosstodon That's great! In that case, could IBAN transactions become a thing for donations from within Europe? To me, this is the preferred and easiest option as there is no signing up to a third party or anything.

Questa immagine l'ho incontratata qui sul fediverso alcuni mesi fa , e l'ho conservata .
Oggi ho avuto voglia di rimetterla in circolazione per farla apprezzare a qualcun altro che forse non l'aveva vista .
Non ricordo ne chi l'ha esposta , ne il titolo , ne l'autore .

Come il sistema dei rifugiati delude i whistleblower che dovrebbe proteggere
Sono un rifugiato che vive in una casa protetta perché ho contribuito a smascherare una rete di tratta di esseri umani che opera all'interno di un campo profughi. Questa decisione ha messo a rischio la mia vita. Le minacce sono reali, la paura è costante e le conseguenze sono continue. Ho fatto ciò che il sistema dice ai rifugiati di fare: denunciare i reati, collaborare con le autorità, proteggere gli altri. Eppure il risultato è stato abbandono, isolamento e pressione a sparire, non giustizia o protezione.
"Se la protezione deve avere un significato, deve estendersi a coloro che corrono i rischi maggiori, soprattutto a coloro che parlano quando sarebbe stato più facile tacere".
