#WsocialFacts @wow.wsocial.eu Is the account that hosts most of #wsocial client feeds. There is nothing creepy or dangerous with that account. If users are automatically set to follow it on account creation, easily unfollowed. Why the drama about a benign account?

I don't get why so many platforms across the AT Protocol have so much hate and hostility towards W Social, calling anyone who thinks differently a fascist. The ultimate fascism is sharing your thoughts only to be swarmed by thousands of anonymous profiles, no matter what network you're on. #wsocial

Startup social networks are obsessed with growth. Signups, DAUs, viral loops. But there's a trap in chasing numbers: they don't ask why people are there - or why they leave.

Over the last months I have been target of coordinated bot attacks, systematic misinformation and discreditation campaigns as well as physical intimidation. Speaking with others who have faced similar attacks made one thing clear: these incidents are not isolated cases and deserve closer scrutiny.

I agree 100%. W already matches Bluesky’s KPIs and is the second-largest platform on AT Protocol. Now: Let’s double the network from 46M to 92M users! The fight is between open and closed platforms, not between open platforms. Let’s win together! #NoGhostTown

"Wsocial is, moreover, the deadest horse in this universe and doesn't even have its own platform, but runs on Bluesky." It runs on 'AT Protocol' Platform same as #EuroXitter/sky and any other independent PDS clients. eg. blacksky.app #WsocialFacts

@aurelius.wsocial.eu Your videos could do with introductory text descriptions to know what they contain because unless I click play, all I see is a blank screen. Then the contents are in a foreign language to me. So don't understand them. You might get better traction using images & alt text?

Wsocial.eu ~ 'The Creator'! 👀

The Wheel of Time (The Creator vs. The Dark One)The Dynamic: Though often classified as epic fantasy with heavy sci-fi cyclical-time elements, it features a stark cosmic dualism.The Split: The Creator represents existence, light, and creation, while The Dark One (Shai'tan) represents entropy, destruction, and the temptation of absolute power through the True Source's tainted half (Saidar vs. Saidin, where the male half of magic is literally driven mad by dark influence).

#WSocialFacts "Wsocial feeds all postings into an LLM!" 😂 No client, bad faith actor, or other needs to feed your content to LLM's! They can just scrape the firehose anyway themselves! Everything on the AT Protocol (except chats, saved and spaces) is fully public information.

"Wsocial feeds all postings into an LLM!" 😂

This claim fundamentally misunderstands how the AT Protocol works. Wsocial doesn't need to "feed" anything to an LLM because all public posts are already broadcasted to a completely open network.The Firehose is Public: The AT Protocol operates on an open, unauthenticated public "firehose" (a WebSocket stream). Every single public post, like, and follow is broadcasted to the entire internet in real time.Anyone Can Listen: Any AI company, researcher, or scraper can connect directly to a network Relay (like Bluesky's main relay) or use optimized streams like Jetstream to ingest 100% of public postings natively. They do not need a client like Wsocial to give it to them.Clients are Just Windows: A client app like Wsocial is merely a viewer (a "frontend") to display this data. When a user posts, they are publishing to their own Personal Data Server (PDS) and the public network, not to a private database owned by Wsocial.The "Opt-Out" is Protocol-Level: If a user wants to signal that they do not want their data used for AI training, that preference is flagged in their account settings at the protocol level. LLM scrapers look at these network-wide tags—a specific client app has no bearing on whether a third-party scraper honors or ignores those tags.Summary: Accusing a specific client of feeding an LLM is like accusing a specific web browser of "feeding" a website to Google Search. The data is already openly on the web for anyone to grab.

#WSocialFacts Don't expect the same when you join. With WID & Wsocial enrolment, the client does not get your Name and Address from verification process, unless you specifically choose to provide that information. 'Founding Member' is key here, was manually verified for the signup process. 😇
