Dear Fedi friends,

A quick update about the exposé I'm writing about that "European social media platform" that had a hurried announcement last week.

The piece is coming and it is JUICY.

But I'm postponing it till after FOSDEM because I got a couple of big scoops last night that I need to develop. Every day I receive new jaw-dropping revelations.

I'm currently channeling my inner Molly White and I'll take advantage of FOSDEM to get more expert opinions. Thanks for all the tips you sent in!

@_elena Just be careful out there. This post has the vibe of a last message of a nosy journalist before they get disappeared, from any number of conspiracy movies. :)

@ticho haha I know. I'll be looking over my shoulders this weekend at FOSDEM 😅

Jokes aside, that's precisely why I mentioned @molly0xfff - she's so brave writing these scathing takedowns of crypto grifts. And she's been doing it for YEARS! She's my hero ❤️

[ticho@mas.to]

@_elena @molly0xfff Indeed, Molly's awesome... But so are you! 👍

What @ticho said!
I wish I was going to FOSDEM just to tell you personally that you're awesome. Maybe next year!

Do you follow The Europeans podcast? I haven’t listened to the latest episode yet, but one topic is W.

@Poindex76 @_elena came to say just that ...

@craigmorgan @Poindex76 I just spent the past week doing a deep dive into W Social so I doubt these folks more know than me.

I don't mean to sound arrogant, it's just that the conversation about W is so surface level / rehashing of their press release.

And I got receipts! 😅

All this considered, let me know if I should listen
