*well slight correction. It is to their profile page. But looks like it does not load unless you’re signed into their social app which needs the W identity signin. If you’re not sign in it takes you to the marketing landing page. Which is about the same thing

It is not strange at all. We where among the first users to signed up. As communicated 👇 wsocial.eu/profile/wsoc...
Internet Handle
Every time you sign up for a new social app, you have to rush to claim your username. If someone else got there first, too bad. And that username only works on that one app anyway.

W Social, Fictional Metrics and the Beauty of Open Data
W Social's tagline is "Trust Your Feed" but the company's landing page displays inflated engagement metrics - a misrepresentation that contradicts its own promise.

Heads up if you have an account on W Social: your private data does not stay inside the W'alled garden.
The thought occurred to me (belatedly) that maybe there are other accounts on the promotional website that aren’t actually on W Social yet. Right now, wsocial.news shows me 4 users who are indeed on W Social and 3 who aren’t: @london.gov.uk, @beate.neos.eu, and @teresaribera.ec.europa.eu.

@london.gov.uk is still on wsocial.news and is still not actually on W Social. It’s been long enough to really make it look like it could be the Greta Thunberg thing all over again Sources: pdsls.dev/at://did:plc:axuvbckddrg7lwlp… blog.elenarossini.com/the-untold-story-about-w-soci…
It looks like W Identity, the part of @wsocial.eu that checks your papers before you go in, has a very basic XSS on its admin backend, found hours after launch. This seems almost too predictable... Cyberfriends, any thoughts on how bad? 23.social/@kantorkel/116767220594438841

23.socialthis is a psa , if you visit a website that offers to let you sign in with atmosphere/bluesky you should click the little question mark in the top right. if it says "transition:generic", that app can do ANYTHING with the data in your account, short of dms and actually deleting/moving your account..
Have you seen my homepage as a PDF? Not this .pdf, the Personal Data Feed jvuillermet.eu Custom cards and links (I tried to maintain branding) for @standard.site, @bookhive.buzz, @popfeed.social, @bsky.app, @pckt.blog and inspiredby.social records.

jvuillermet.euWhat's verification on the open social web for? With @gui.do and @emily.space we put together a draft statement and roadmap for democratic account verification. For everyone, without IDs. The draft is here, please contribute and comment. Open until 31 May tangled.org/sherif.eurosky.social/atmosph…
Didn't get to ask my question, so here they are @anna.wsocial.eu (I'm in the room :)) But firstly, welcome to the Atmosphere! It's always great to see another app join the OSW (open social web).

Going to the W Social launch this afternoon at the Brussels Press Club. Should be interesting! Anyone I know joining me?
