Lobbying, incompetence, unlucky while doing thinkinks, bad hair day ... 🤔

I'm sure there are many valid reasons why they point in one direction with one hand, and in a completely different direction with the other. The head? Oh, it's up there somewhere, where the sun is probably not present.

@_elena As well as the European Mastodon community, I feel especially bad for our friends at @eurosky.social and @leafplaza.eu@bsky.brid.gy as they have been completely ignored as options

A decentralized network is harder to pressure and harder to regulate. Maybe they’re simply afraid they won’t know what to do with it in the future.

This checks out.

The W Social app/network is their “tip of the spear” app, which forces everyone through their Widentity framework and app.

the identity framework (Neuro Access, I think I saw some of their other ID Apps in the Apple Store) is a core business of the TrustAnchorGroup: trustanchorgroup.com/

I’m currently on the move and doing actual work, but I couldn’t help but notice the neuro-tech.io website where most of the TAG website links go is offline. Coincidence?

@johnbreslin @_elena So von der Leyen gushing about it and inviting people to join in a social media post doesn’t fall under “communicating with citizens?” Curious.

(Thanks for the heads up, John, appreciate it.)

probably. Also, a corporation can be controlled by goverments, however Mastodon is hard to influence in the rules of the different instances

Your first paragraph really summarizes it neatly, but I would add one thing:

Why is the EU Commission aggressively pushing a for-profit, venture capital funded, and closed source digital ghost town that is fully reliant on a US company's infrastructure on US soil?
