iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Oh, now it makes more sense why many on the protocol are so obsessed with the ALT descriptions for images. Besides accessibility benefits, bots do waaay better with text descriptions than wasting resources on the image OCR...

Excellent progress, @wsocial.eu posted first version of the Constitution! wsocial.news/constitution! "We build W together with you. This constitution is not finished, and neither is W. We publish our rules, we explain any material changes, and we listen when our users tell us how we can improve."

1/8 🚀 Big news for W! Today we publish our constitution alongside a major platform upgrade: a verified-only feed, W Live on European infrastructure and easier account migration. Here’s what’s new, and what it means for you. 👇

The Constitution of W
The conversation belongs to humans
Version: 1 October 2026

Social media changes how humanity talks. It connects billions of us. It also fills the public conversation with bots, filter bubbles, engineered polarisation and machines pretending to be people. And we have stopped talking with people who see the world differently.
We are building W so that we can talk to each other again: real people, real dialogue, and trust in who is on the other side of the conversation. Civilised, even when we disagree. Because we are all humans first. And we believe that people generally mean well.
This is our constitution: ten articles that guide everything we do. They apply to everyone on W.

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.

Take a look at this if you heard that W is a ghost town. Different platforms on the AT protocol has different profile. Joint user base is an advantage for all.

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

Social media doesn't have to be toxic. It can be better. Same broadcast, two platforms. Watch the difference ⬇️ On W: 36,000+ views, 23 minutes average viewing time, and 523 chat messages from 108 verified people. Constructive, curious, dialogue, very little noise.

The migration tool is ready. You can now move your account to W from any AT Protocol provider, and out of W to any other. Fully automated, both directions. Your handle, your followers, your posts. They all come with you. Moving in still needs an invite code. Moving out never will.

Requiring real IDs won't eliminate bot farms on Bluesky and #WSocial - it just shifts the model. People can easily rent out verified accounts or run automated scripts on their personal profiles to form decentralized botnets. Sybil resistance stops fake accounts, not coordinated behavior.
