Let’s explain to you What is it and what does W Social offer?the European microblogging social network. It is an alternative to X and Threads that uses the same protocol as Bluesky to have its functions and users, something that may be a little complicated to understand and that we are going to explain to you. We will tell you what it is and what it is not, but we will also explain its own particularities, such as the verified system. Only people who verify their identity can use it.sacrificing your privacy in exchange for an environment without bots, trolls, without abuse and with better behaviors. What is W Social W Social is a European social network. Specifically, it is a micromessage network, the same as Twitter/X, Threads or Bluesky. In fact, what is sought is to create a European alternative to American social networks, where all data is stored on European servers subject to stricter privacy laws. W Social is not a closed and independent social network, but uses Bluesky’s AT Protocol. This means that it is like a European body of Blueskythe technology is the same, and from each of them you can access, follow and talk to the users of the other. Come on, from W Social you can follow the account without problems xataka.bsky.social. Think of all this as two networks that speak the same language and they are interconnected with each other. It is the same as the instances of Mastodonbut with another technology. You will be able to access Bluesky accounts and read posts and all content, and users of this network will also be able to follow you. Bluesky has more than 45 million usersalthough there is no figure for how many of them are active. In any case, this will mean that W Social will join forces with this alternative network, all of those users are accessible from it. This means two things. On the one hand, W Social will not start from scratch or be a deserted social network. And the second is that It is not necessary for you to opt for Rella If there is something that doesn’t convince you, you can always use Bluesky or other European alternatives with the same protocol as Eurosky. W Social plans to allow you to migrate your Bluesky account to make it easier for your followers to follow you, but this is something that is not working yet. Finally, W Social wants to be a network based on verified humans, transparency, privacy and freedom of expression as its fundamental objectives. This translates to you need to verify your identity to be able to use it, something that we will explain to you later. In the end, W Social assures that its reason for existence is the certainty that we need a global and reliable social network, and that it is European managed, hosted and ownedwith all the benefits this entails for privacy due to the strictest European regulations in this regard. What W Social is NOT W Social It is not a social network created by the European Unionbut by a European company. Yes, a company like Meta or X, but based in the EU and with our rules. This also means that It is not a decentralized or open network like those that are part of the Mastodon ecosystem. It will be a network belonging to a company, which will be the one that makes the decisions. Come on, just like Instagram, Facebook, Threads or X. Main features Using W Social is the same as using Bluesky. First of all, you have the feeds, which are personalized algorithms that you can add and order as you like. W Social comes with several of its own Feeds pre-linked to your account, but by default on the main screen you only read messages from users you have followed, whether from Bluesky or W. As for W Socia’s own feeds, you have to read all network users independently of Bluesky, to read the media registered in W, to read organizations, to read featured users, and Discover feeds and trends that use content from W and Bluesky. But in addition to this, you have a search engine to use any Bluesky feed created by its own users. Come on, unique algorithms that can be thematic, by language, or whatever you want to create on your own. But the main feature of W Social is that Your users must have a verified identity. You have two different ways to do it, and without this procedure you will not be able to use the network. This measure has something positive as a clear way to end bots, trolls and online abuse and threatssince the user can be identified to expel him or his actions have criminal consequences just as in life outside the Internet. This will promote a less toxic environment without fake profiles, but you have to sacrifice your anonymity in exchange for these advantages. The other fundamental pillar of W Social will be moderation. Just as X is a free, wild space where abuse, misinformation and toxicity are common, W Social seeks to be a more controlled network with clear rulessuch as not being able to insult, avoid coordinated campaigns or the creation of permanent noise. Moderation is always a delicate topic, although the platform promises neutrality. We will have to wait to see how they carry out these tasks, how much is done by algorithm and how much is done by people. Moderation is important for creating a healthy digital environment, but it can also be dangerous For the rest, W Social has the rest of Bluesky’s features. You can send private messages to any user on any network using the Bluesky protocol, create user lists, save and pin topics, see trends and share all content. In essence, using W Social is identical to using Blueskywith the same functions and access to the same user base. What changes are the internal rules: strict … Read more
