look at this cute dog! that's the only good thing about wsocial, is that it expands atproto by introducing it to other people. but @wsocial.eu is playing dirty, they state that a user owns their data, but after completing an identity verification, the user DOES NOT OWN SHIT (1/2)

also it is completely bonkers that @bsky.app requires you to select a "Hosting Provider" on login and i have to remember whatever @eurosky.social's address is. guys, if you want this decentralization thing to happen, it should not suck so much to use! the Bluesky app should just read it from my DID
Once you see it, you can't unsee it
W Social is TruthSocial with a European accent.
The establishment always wants its own internet. Different politics, identical structure: wealthy insiders, community infrastructure they didn't build, and openness performed just long enough to matter.

There is a shit ton of bots on Bluesky / W (more like L) and any other atproto app
Thomas REGNIER@thomasregnier.ec.europa.eu · 2mo agoHappy to join W. With President @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu and @ec.europa.eu on board too, we want to diversify our online presence. W is European. User friendly. Privacy preserving. With no bots. Let’s stay connected, across Europe and beyond.
Why choose a commercial entity that just went closed-source when a non-commercial one that builds in the open exists? (namely @eurosky.social) Didn't you just (exactly 2 weeks ago) reaffirm your support to open source “for Europe’s technological sovereignty”?
Unfortunately, if you want to use the W app you have to migrate to the W PDS. With true #atproto apps like @mu.social, @bsky.app or @flashes.blue you can use whatever #atproto account provider you choose - be that @eurosky.social, @blackskyweb.xyz or @bsky.app

Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.
Elizabeth Jacobs, PhD@elizabethjacobs.bsky.social · 4mo agoRFK Jr. just said that immigration is to blame for the outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases in the U.S., not him.

Account Ownership is such a terrible term to describe AT Protocol identities ... help, anyone has a better wording for this pls
Okay so here’s my actual Bluesky-is-dying hypothesis: The entire web is dying. Users aren’t going from BlueSky to another site (x/insta/threada/tiktok). Users are going to chatbots. I know traffic to news sites has cratered (like 90%). My hunch is traffic to all the social platforms is down too.
Hey y'all! One of the things I took from #AtmosphereConf was that there's still a hole to fill to make it easier for users to back up their identities and that something like a mobile app may do that. So if you're interested, please take a bit of time to answer the questions to help shape that app.
