W Social: Hello World!
Hello World! ๐ This category is for discussing W Social, a new member on the AT-protocol federation. Launched in conjunction with the World Economic Forum in Davos on January 19, 2026, the project has sparked a lot of praise, interest, rumors and slander.

Pluralistic: Social media without socializing (19 Jan 2026) โ Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow

@mackinac.social, built by @whiteside.io, is an open social web client that's thinking multi-protocol and bridging-first! John's added a *ton* of unique features we've never seen before, so we wanted to outline a few of them in a thread ๐๐ผ 1/๐งต
The Open Social Web generally rotates to these discussions: 10 Friendly name of the network (ATmosphere vs Bluesky; Fediverse vs Mastodonยฎ) 20 Branding (ATmosphere vs Atmosphere/atmosphere; Fediverse vs fediverse) 30 AI / LLM 40 Twitter / X 50 Meta 60 ActivityPub vs ATProto 70 Moderation 80 Goto 10
๐ Excited to officially launch periwinkle.social to help folks truly own your social identity on @bsky.app and the growing universe of @atprotocol.dev applications. We manage your Personal Data Server and and handle the hard parts so you don't have to. #ATProtocol #PDS
Periwinkle - Get Started
periwinkle.socialSocial media is no longer social. Most of it is passive viewing of videos and pictures from people we've never met. But we're still studying social media like it's 2010. We've entered the post-social media era โ and research needs to catch up. osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/6nue7_v1 preprint w/ Richard Rogers
I have high hopes for @mu.social as a proving ground for democratic social media, given ample support from the atmosphere community. With the help of civilized-discourse expert @jonathanwarden.com we can have Community Notes on atproto, starting with mu.
