So, been thinking about the "W" social media thing. The "European alternative to X". Some kind of Euro corporate tech bro thing. But it's a 'fork' of the #Bluesky code. Currently kind of on Bsky's AT Proto network, but that future is unclear. Bluesky PBC seems to hate it. They claim to be 'decentralized' 🤷

Why do we need such nonsense when the Fediverse is a proven public social media network with thousands of decentralized instances up and running all over the world including all over Europe.

@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online from the corporate / government point of view, the problem with fedi is that it's not a panopticon. There are parts of it that aren't in their index, bits they can't see. Not only are the servers distributed, the threads are distributed and they can't easily monitor and control all of it at once.

There might even be two people talking to each other without corporate or government surveillance in between!

They need a system with a big central index, for power and surveillance and control.
