Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 12/10/2026I understand, but the AT Protocol does not prescribe poor UX. Thanks for pointing out the not-so-visible explanation. 000 0
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 12/10/2026It seems that Google too is then an "enemy", because they are (of course) not renaming their well-established AI studio services. Ridiculous it is. 010 1
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 12/10/2026Well, it says "Some people can reply", and the actual restrictions show only if you guess that you can click that text. In my opinion, the W Social app has poor UX, ignoring some of the well-established Nielsen ten principles for best-practice usability. 100 1
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 12/10/2026@wsocial.eu , is replying broken? The reply button does nothing, and reposting says "Quoting posts disabled" (looks like the repost came through, but I could not add own comments). 110 1

Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 05/10/2026Apparently I fit better with Spain (easy-going) than with Sweden... 010 1
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 04/10/2026In the notification screen I only see icons for replying, "reposting" and liking (heart). None of the icons opens the thread or "feed". Discussions end because I cannot remember the entire previous context. 000 0
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 04/10/2026Sorry, after receiving a notification I cannot scroll up to to see the history of that reply. I only have a list of notifications (not limited to one comment thread), in reverse time order. Settings in this view seems to only be for filtering what notifications to receive. It is mysterious. 010 1
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 04/10/2026What "feed"? I got a nptification for a reply, but see no way to go from the notification to the comment thread that the reply belongs to. 210 2
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 04/10/2026I cannot find that setting from the home screen either. The default should be saner, and the setting for it should be much more obvious. 000 0
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 04/10/2026Thanks fpr replying, but I am in the notifications screen - no such setting here. 110 1
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 04/10/2026I wish I knew what you replied to. @wsocial.eu when will we get sane comment threads, for real discussions? 110 1
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 25/09/2026Since batteries do not generate power, the second question is invalid. Battery storage has limited uses, so no, the boom will not last. 000 0
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 25/09/2026Indeed, language filtering and convenient in-app translations are missing. 040 4

Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 05/09/2026Ahh, I made the mistake of replying to a Eurosky user - they are usually toxic here. If you are here to promote Eurosky, you are not doing a very good job. 000 0
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 05/09/2026Sorry, W Social gives no previous context. What prompted you to post this weird question? 010 1
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 05/09/2026I wish there was a reliable tag to mute, to not have to see these context-less posts. Unfortunately it seems I have to block this "Live Matchday Hub" account. 100 1
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 21/08/2026Good, and hopefully making it much more accessible in the app. While I know some German, I struggle with understanding many posts here. 010 1
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 21/08/2026Hmm, not sure what toxic shit you try to spread here. I have no "site", and my German is not good enough to decipher that. Sadly, a rather high proportion of Eurosky users appear to engage in negative ways. Have a nicer day! 100 1
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 05/08/2026I quit X long ago, and tried mastodon.se (that was closed with no proper email notification). So, I had nothing to migrate from. Understanding the W Social UI has been a barrier.mastodon.se 000 0
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 03/08/2026I did not know it existed... W Social has a non-obvious UI quirks to overcome first - how to see previous comments (click the text, but not from Notifications where it seems impossible), and that one of the two W Users tabs is for seeing posts only from W Social (but user handles can be anything). 100 1
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 03/08/2026Sorry, longer discussions are not possible yet on W Social, since there is no navigation to the full comment thread. Sarcasm is a dubious weapon on social media, best avoided. 000 0
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 02/08/2026I have too little time for your narrow-minded view of what "closed" might mean. It does not matter much if the service is open-source or not - it is still a service that is (slowly) becoming open to all. Repeated mention of a since long fixed minor vulnerability is pointless. Why are you even here?! 100 1
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 02/08/2026I already rely on Thunderbird, and K-9 from Google Play (I always despised the bad UX of Gmail). Unfortunately F-droid looks complicated to get started with (APK install) - pretty impossible to use as a backup distribution channel for anything addressing normal people. 000 0
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 02/08/2026I admit I am still drinking the "unlimited" Koolaid from other chat services (the few that still exist). Mistral a low daily limit, that usually stops everything before I get any conclusive answer. Daily limits are fine if the responses are good-quality - I do not think that Mistral is there yet. 020 2
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 02/08/2026You can certainly differ in opinion, but not a single person made it into Europe. 010 1
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 02/08/2026I keep making this point in Sweden, about this letter and other hysterical populist reactions around Europe. 110 1
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 02/08/2026Sorry, but your reposting of a since long fixed vulnerability is becoming quite ridiculous. 200 2
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 01/08/2026Please provide evidence for your unsubstantiated claims. I do not find W Social "closed" (just expanding too slowly), and while the W Identity step was unimpressive, it does not mean it is "unsafe". 200 2
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 01/08/2026That looks like a good kid - that cannot stay. I would not want to pin this on a single origin, but also on the clueless socal media reposting that is rampant these days (in all countries). The populist fear-mongering that followed is disgraceful. 010 1
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 01/08/2026Indeed, the rather hysterical reactions by populists around EU were sadly predicatble. This is a local crisis that Spain is managing. Offering any support needed (if any) is the proper response. 210 2
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 01/08/2026I tried Mastodon, but its continuity turned out to be too weak. The single-person maintaining my node (mastodon.se) decided to stop doing that without email notification to the users, so I lost my profile. I am not repeating that mistake.mastodon.se 000 0
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 01/08/2026Please tell me why Eurosky users are so kaustic here? I am not tempted to join that. 100 1
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 01/08/2026... and not few gullible populists fell for it (some of them with an aligned agenda). This is a local crisis that Spain is managing. 010 1
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 01/08/2026You might have missed a few messages on what the EU is all about. Agreeing to an "urgent videoconference" about what is essentially a local crisis is needed due to the many hysterical populist reactions that occurred. Spain shall receive any support that they need (if any at all). 000 0
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 01/08/2026That is why I usually restrict my reading to the W Users tab, where only person-verified posts are seen. 010 1
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 01/08/2026OK... you do look uninformed, so let us do something about it. This is a local crisis limited to the Spain enclave in North Africa. EU should support Spain (if needed) rather than the hysterical populist reactions that occurred. 110 1
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 01/08/2026Indeed, but the hysterical populist reactions around EU is not that. 110 1
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 01/08/2026Some of the reactions are quite hysterical. Spain IS managing this local crisis. I wish to see more expressions of solidarity and checks whether Spain needs any help at all. 110 1
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 24/07/2026I already started packing... the eclipse glasses! :-) 010 1
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 22/07/2026Poor AI slop, failing to make a simple summary (it is not about availability of electricity). Who are you? 000 0
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 22/07/2026I!saw one of the posts, about my country Sweden. Poor quality (AI misread). Can we report it? 100 1
Johan E. Bengtsson @joheben.wsocial.eu · 22/07/2026Thanks will keep that in mind, at that time going from Switzerland to Paris and Bruge. :-) 110 1
