wsocial and anti-w propaganda been distributed!

Let us try and counter there main talking points.

  1. Alice W###l**1* & Far Right accounts welcomed! So what? with ATProtocol, everybody can CONTROL their own feed, so are not forced to see any content from them if so desired. Everyone has a right to be on social media what ever side of the political/religious alignment they may have.

  2. Moderation! Every platform has issues with accounts posting unfavourable content, W is in its infancy/beta stage and a small team, which may not be able to react to the accounts on a speedy process. Point 1 self moderation is available.

  3. Client website or app. Clone of BlueSky with limited and missing features. W is on the AT Protocol and alternative clients and apps can be used if so desired. Again a beta client.

  4. Giving back to development of At Protocol. The team behind W are in constant communication with other clients/pds/developers behind the scenes, I believe and not widely published or discussed.#

  5. Identity Required (Age Verification): - BlueSky itself requires this in the UK and some states with a privacy invading provider 'KWS'. EU officials are drafting plans to be announced in September that will require it for all social media. So even #Eurosky will be obligated to do it as well. I have been Warning about he DSA since august 2024 or before. So this should not be recent news or a challenge point for W.

  6. W should leave ATProtocol and do its own thing, why it is an open platform and developers can adapt it to suit there own goals and desires for a client.

  7. W mislead it users about it and didn't provided enough details about the ATProtocol platform, It is a valid point that it was marketed poorly and gave the impression it was a new platform. It should be up to users to inform themselves about the platform they are joining. The users don't need or want others dictating or trying to educate them with propaganda disguised as facts (mainly hearsay and opinions).

*1 ~ Name obscured got 'needs-review' label by moderation.bsky.social on my account, I believe because of having the full name. Result my account is shadowbanned on bsky itself. Or I was mass reported with bogus complaints to the moderation service, just for having a wsocial account.
