@_elena @0xtero There are no links to the swedish right. But links the teh swedish upper class and conservatives. And to WeDontHaveTime as well as to euopena AI-interests (mainly in France as it seems). https://blog.zaramis.se/2026/01/24/personerna-bakom-w-social-vill-tjana-pengar/

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 You're right, I'm with you. I deleted my X account almost two years ago. Why would anyone vote no, that it's not worth it? Seriously, what's wrong with them?

@_elena they didn't even remove the name "Bluesky" on various parts of the website ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
@BrennpunktUA @_elena Seriously, the BlueSky website is an eyesore, I can't stand how bad it looks!

@_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.
@everton137 @_elena @nopatience a week or so ago I checked the 14 Irish MEPs and found 7 of them on X. I sent them all an email to urge them to #LoseTheXLink and to consider Mastodon instead. NONE of them even bothered to respond, not even Luke Ming Flanagan who puts himself forward as a progressive candidate.
It's easy to ignore ONE email. What if they got thousands?
The green party of Ireland already made the move. Well done @greenparty_ie

@_elena I totally support you.
I am trying something different.
I am creating a fedi/mastodon instance just for the pollies in Australia.
I plan to invite them all too it.
It will be au.politicians.social i partially got started today with the domain.
Do you want to setup ie. Or irl.
Only allow .gov.ie emails to register on it.
Then it is a "verified" server for the MPs. -

@_elena We have states and local auths too, all with similar emails.
.vic.au.poltiicians.social will be the State electorate pollies. -

Flanagan has been in hospital recently for surgery on his jaw, that might effect whether or not you'd get a response.
