RE: https://mastodon.social/@_elena/115943470860977033
Good morning Fedi friends!
Thank you to all the people who participated in my poll. I plan to write a blog post early next week about all the problematic aspects of #WSocial. And I grabbed a URL that makes for a perfect shortlink / redirect to the article.
Given the massive media coverage here in France, I strongly believe it's not wise to stay silent and wish W Social away.
Quick note: I'll be offline most of the day at a child's birthday party.
Have a great day! And yay Minnesota!
Until it does not materialize inside the institutions, I don't think it's relevant.
This thing seems pretty much unknown, no real information about the organization, the company, the business model.Just a name and some ugly video @ Davos.
They're hoping / begging EU politicians to *move* from X.
European Commission already has blog/video instances and they don't use them.The W target is some #bluesky european users who both understand the need of decentralization and are enthusiast to give to someone a copy of their documents and migrate.
Full crowds

@_elena @MediaActivist Good shout. With venture capital funded startups you only have power at one point in their lifecycle: at the very start when they haven’t scaled yet and don’t yet have network effects. If you can kill their growth curve then, you can kill the startup. If, however, you “give them the benefit of the doubt” so they can use their initial cash injection to scale and achieve network effects, they’re set. They become another Facebook, X, etc. And they remain.

@doktorzjivago @_elena Better look at my english language Mastodon-account. @AnderstS. I've written a post on my blog about the persons and companies behind W Social. In swedish though but easily translated.

@MediaActivist @_elena I go into more detail in my older talks, e.g., this one from six years ago: Ethical Technology or Feudalism?

@aral @_elena Fantastic. Just last Wednesday I facilitated a workshop where I claimed that much of what we use now would've been considered "malware" back in the day. Perhaps predictably, I love the points on journalism as clickbait too (I've just included that quote from Axel Springer's lawyer in my website section on "Why Media Activism?"!) Thank you!

@MediaActivist @_elena Glad to hear you enjoyed it. I wish it wasn’t still relevant. But I realised at about that time that talking about this – while important – isn’t enough. Folks would clap me in one breath and the person from Google in the next. Fingers crossed the Small Web will have an impact. Even if it doesn’t, at least it’ll exist.

@MediaActivist @_elena Sadly, folks applaud anyone who speaks confidently. I even started telling people during my talks that they shouldn’t just accept what I’m saying because I say it confidently and maybe with a modicum of charisma but think about what I’m saying and what the next person is going to be saying and think critically about all of it, but… 🤷♂️

Clicking this gave me a 404 and then the post disappeared altogether
There's something weird going on on the Shisa/Tengu ransomware leak site right now

@max sono gli stessi promotori che nelle esternazioni lo hanno affermato a chiare lettere, tanto Nordio quanto la Bartolozzi. Vorrei rammentarti che anche la lista oggetto di estrazione, pur se la compilazione e la scelta è teoricamente attribuita al Parlamento, sarà esclusiva del governo/maggioranza. Poi si può giustamente valutare gli effetti in base alla forma oppure in base all'uso strumentale. Scelta personale. Gli ultimi paragrafi del post da te condiviso mi sembra fughino ogni dubbio.

@carlux @QuasiMagia @sonicdebris Eh, sì, ma non è la rivoluzione di cui parla chi propone l'hype. :D

@evan LOL. They don't yet have anyone that they love so intensely that they are very interested to see them in concert, but when they do, I'll go to the end of the world for that.
I did take the older one to see the LEGENDARY Russian band Aquarium in Boston. I'm much more of their fan than he is, but I did use some of their quieter songs as lullabies when he was much younger, and he identified them. They are playing in Toronto and some other North American cities soon.

@evan Aww gawd
You sign in with your email, they send you a link, and you log in with that. What a faff!
What if I don't have access to email on the device I'm using?

@jonathan fortunately the stakes are extremely low

@dick_turpin @andyc @steevc just kidding! I had an option to log in with Mastodon early on, which I took.
