Update from my source dev 2:
"Miraculously - only hours after publishing your article Elena - the issue seems to be resolved"
I will update my article now.
Scoop: #WSocial has been experiencing major technical problems for over a week: it is effectively a ghost town, filled with thousands of new accounts that cannot use the platform.Because my new article contains a possible solution to their problem, by the time you read this the issue may have been fixed. Or not. It has been going on for 7+ days, with complete radio silence by its developers and founders.

yet another e.g. of these absolute dickheads free-riding on the work of others.
you are too good a person and I applaud you for checking out of covering this shitshow at this point.

in reply to Elena Rossini 🌈 • • •So following the publication of my article the major #WSocial tech issue has been fixed - the 3000+ accounts that were non-functional FOR A FULL WEEK can now use the platform.
I'm glad I could be of help! 😇
I've updated my article with delicious commentary courtesy of Dev 1 and Dev 2:
Dev 1: "The question is who fixed it? I'd be willing to bet a Bluesky engineer saw that article and just did the fix, rather than letting W Social wander around aimlessly."

Unknown parent • •Ah, so they’re past the ignoring you stage.
The question is will they try to bring you into the fold (most likely with neoliberals) or fight you? My guess is first the former, and, if they fail, the latter (at least that’s been my experience with this sort of thing).
