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!

@_elena I think German media is not covering this. But is it an official platform by the EU or a random cash grab?

@_elena if they all talk about it once, itβs probably just because they all copy/paste AFP news, without much actual journalism.
This is why I try to get just one big relevant source and not read/listen to it too much.
Did some media talk about W multiple times?

agree to both !
There is a subtle difference between "massive" and "diverse" media coverage !!! (!)[US Disclaimer]: Do not share this post, your president disallows the word "diverse".

@_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 havenβt scaled yet and donβt yet have network effects. If you can kill their growth curve then, you can kill the startup. If, however, you βgive them the benefit of the doubtβ so they can use their initial cash injection to scale and achieve network effects, theyβre set. They become another Facebook, X, etc. And they remain.

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.

@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?

@BathysphereHat sometimes the word for a colour just sounds better.

Clicking "β₯" seems like the wrong reaction, but you have my commiseration. π

Like no, there's no secret, universal code to what colours mean in art and literature (although that doesn't mean colour can't be significant). But there are other things that can have meaning. Hell, colour choices can have meaning. It's just not "Red is violence, blue is sadness, yellow is ambiguity" or whatever.
-
I feel like "the curtains are just blue" is a weird summary of the argument that seemingly mundane choices in fiction carry no meaning, because it's taking like the most dogshit kind of symbolism and acting like that's what all symbolism is like.

@Antonio1959 pochi ricordano Bersani e le lenzuolate di leggi a favore dei consumatori TUTTI, di qualunque partito.... preferiscono astenersi e prenderla nel mulo!

The way I write, the curtains usually really are just blue. But that doesn't mean there's no symbolism or deeper meaning at all in seemingly mundane choices I make, it just means I think colour symbolism is generally bullshit.

Un deferente e riconoscente pensiero a Giorgio Napolitano. Ricordiamo anche che in questo paese restano attivi alcuni improbabili talent scout:
