RE: mastodon.social/@_elena/116832…
Why is the EU Commission aggressively pushing a for-profit, venture capital funded, and closed source digital ghost town?
Especially when a non-corporate free and open European-made alternative with millions of active people on it exists in the form of Mastodon that’s interoperable with an international alternative called the fediverse?
Could it have something to do with mandatory identity verification? 🤔
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.

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.

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?

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

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •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?
