Maybe #WSocial is a secret project by Big Tech to stop me and other activists from promoting the open social web... distracting us with daily rage bait instead.
Incredibly, the W Social folks are boasting that they received an innovation award at a glitzy ceremony (the award was just created, its website went live last week).
If you didn't know, W Social grabbed the ATproto codebase (developed by Bluesky PBC) and quietly went closed-source, Ã la Truth Social.
Enough with these 🤡 for today
