@sharan watch out you may draw the ire of Fedi enthusiasts. Maybe we can say that the Fediverse (with all its FOSS software solutions) is the only viable option?
There’s so much good stuff here, from Friendica to Sharkey, GoToSocial, PeerTube. Something for everyone ☺️
@_elena I am deeply sorry for hurting so many people's feelings.
OK, Fediverse, open source, people oriented technology, that's the solution. Probably. We're all humans, we will fuck it up somehow.
BTW, great Sex Pistolesque Fediverse shirt! ❤️

Must see from @euronews
Fact check: Is the EU launching a social media platform called #WSocial?
"A spokesperson for the European Commission told The Cube, Euronews' fact-checking team, that the EU is not launching or funding any social media platform, and that there is currently no EU-backed project called "W"
[...] W is a privately owned social media start-up incorporated in Sweden, backed by private investors mainly from the Nordic region."

@_elena @euronews This is quite strange, since the EU seems to host a mastodon instance for the officials https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/explore
@fosdembsd Why would you say that is strange? This is exactly what should happen, organisations that want control over their communications have their own instance, but are not in control of the network.

#PostOfTheWeek (season 3):
Viral posts claiming the EU is launching its own social media platform to counter X, in the wake of various scandals, are misleading.
Claims are spreading online that the European Union is building its own social media platform to replace X, with posts alleging that a new network called "W" will be funded by taxpayers and run as a censorship tool. -

Posts, shared widely on X, claim the project is backed by Brussels, financed by taxpayers' money and designed to impose EU oversight on online speech.One post, viewed more than 60,000 times, claims that "500 million of our tax money will be spent on a censorship system in which everything is checked, corrected and eliminated".
Another, with more than 570,000 views, claims that the European Union "is releasing W".

@renef @inVinnieVeritas I thought you meant « Mastadon » right?
Terrible joke but that’s how the media usually spell it… it’s as if they either ignore it on purpose or completely fumble their coverage (like Radio France yesterday that ran with a piece that claimed Eugen had quit his own network out of frustration with user behavior). Excuse me, what? It’s unbelievable

They let the disinformation spread and adjusted their web site a bit too late. -

Yeah, it looked weird that there was no trace of news on financing except on two or three sites. I wonder who extracted value from building this tale, besides free advertising for the yet-to-be platform.
Anyways what was told about their paradigm still holds its value, and we all are now "en garde".

@TechConnectify This was certainly NOT on my Bingo Card... I was watching the video till the fake ending and was like: "What could possibly be coming after this? Maybe some extras about other energy forms?"
When the mild mannered Mid-Westerner does a half hour rant on _Ronald McDonald_ is when you know that things are not well on the other side of the pond
