Good morning Fedi friends!

@_elena What is the essence of these 5,000 characters? I don't see any criticism of W. formulated there. They're not even at the starting line yet. So we'll have to wait and see anyway.
@zotheca sorry I meant that I wanted to use my GoToSocial account to share my PLANS for a blog post about WSocial... because I hate writing threads and I wanted to put everything in one post.
The article will be published next week on my blog: blog.elenarossini.com - and if I'm chaotic neutral, shared via an awesome URL I just grabbed (the wsocial peeps were amateurs and didn't register related domains)... I'm the proud owner of one - wsocial [dot] country code - that I could set up as redirect

@aaronmccollum YES this exactly Aaron, thank you! You beat me to it...

Sounds like the typical boring Fediverse: ATProto is the enemy.
Not interested.

@_elena gotosocial looking nice.
@ErickaSimone thanks Ericka! You can actually set the character limit you want on a self-hosted GoToSocial. 5000 is the default but you could probably increase it too 🤗 I love it

@zotheca Why do you say that? It's a pretty wild projection. The crux of my objection is with their complete disregard for EuroSky, the insistence of government ID and their terrible security

@_elena Yes, it's a complex issue.
I'm sure that if more people in the Fediverse had to show their ID, we would have less anti-Semitism, glorification of terrorism, and hate.
But I understand the objections. -

@_elena As far as EuroSky is concerned, I'm not yet sure whether it's really ignorance. However, I agree with your observation on that point; it certainly looks as though something is going to be launched in a few months that EuroSky is supposed to offer already. But even there, there are only promises at the moment, and they won't meet their deadline.

Good morning Fedi friends!
Using my GoToSocial account and its glorious 5000 character limit to clear the air about #WSocial and my opposition to it / why I want to speak up:
https://aseachange.com/@elena/statuses/01KFT5S4RE18NTT8T3VWTV3RVE
Yes, I'm well aware there are bigger problems in the world but the battle I picked is: rebellion against techbros / promotion of FOSS and the fediverse.
Wishing you all a lovely Sunday, stay safe and resist ✊
@_elena Great piece! It seems that asking helped you clarify your determination and conviction about that issue. Thank you for all what you doing and I can't wait to read and share your article. ✊🤗

@zotheca I have pretty explosive evidence of how terrible their security is... I look forward to getting your feedback once the piece is published

Hi Elena, maybe you check out this Mastodon instance as an alternative offering a 5.000 character limit for posts. 😎

@_elena Fediverse is the drug, but not for that kind of disease. Fediverse is about caring for relationships and taking responsibility for what you post; it's about how you perceive yourself in relation to others. Raise all the critical issues regarding wsocial, but remember that, as things stand, Mastodon protocol does not guarantee data protection (feeds and other data are public and grabbable via public APIs). Please remember this, if your goal is mass-adoption of fedi.

@_elena I agree with you disagreeing.

@_elena
The battle against the techbros is very important among those bigger problems.So much of the current global craziness is a consequence of people consuming media that can easily be used for centralized individualized mass manipulation.

@_elena I agree with you disagreeing.
„I hear you.
But I disagree.“„I'd like to write something that you could reference and share... since so far no journalists did any research and simply rehashed the press release of W Social.“
That's EXACTLY what my first impression with the media coverage about WSocial was! Even the investigative journalist Lars Wienand for T-Online! He did a little bit more than copying the Press Release, but he didn't question WSocial at all!
So we really NEED your blog article! Don't listen to the loudest voices this time! 👍
