FERMI TUTTI!!!!
Che faccio? Vado?
Ovviamente mi chiede un sistema identificativo ufficiale, tipo spid, ma mi da la possibilità di entrare comunque e di farlo dopo...
Geht es mit der European Digital Identity ab 2027 für #SocialMedia bergab? #AskFedi
#WSocial stagniert ¹ → Menschen wollen sich nicht scannen, ausweisen & von Dritten überprüfen lassen müssen, nur, um mit Anderen zu sprechen.
Also: Was passiert mit anderen (mehr oder weniger) sozialen Medien, wenn (!) #EUDI / #Altersverifizierung kommen? #EndOfSoMe ?🤷

I’ve been on #W for a month and enjoy it. I got to chat with more decent people in 30 days than I ever did on any other platform.
I could tell I was among mostly #European users straight away. No bots, no circus, no gloss. It’s still in beta and access is through a waiting list. I soon discovered that verification is a good thing if you just want to interact with human beings. And you even get live streamings directly from the #EU institutions.

New #WSocial data fuckup, posted by @_elena on Bluesky but not on the Fedi?
Apparently, during signup (which requires your real ID) you get an option to “display real name and age publicly”, and if you do, your nationality, real name, and age (offset by < ±1 year) are included in the data that is accessible to anyone, even people without a WS account, and to any scraper bots who care to look.
WS claims this is “public by design” and works as intended.

I just published a blog post that explains the latest #WSocial controversy:
W Social is publishing as a permanent record on the open web the full names, nationalities and approximate birthdays of their verified users... who may be unaware all this information is available for anyone to see, outside of the social network.
