> Europe already has an ATproto social network - Eurosky - run by a non-profit foundation - Modal - that is building everything in the open, with full transparency, sharing all the steps in their development roadmap:
And weirdly, there was never a peep about this in the press - while the W Social launch was on national news and a bunch of high-profile EU politicians immediately joined. What's going on here?
It means that marketers won over technical, factual people.
Not marketers, lobbyists
Probably marketers in this one. Marketers who know how to access politicians adn get invited to WEF.
The distinction: marketers know how to trick people, lobbyists bribe them.

Both? But yea, if you see the Advisory Board shown in an image lower in the article, you get the general idea.

NGOs are also lobbyists, and of the worse kind.
Not lobbyists, bribers.
The marketers or the so far unnamed private investors.
Mastodon is also European
Mastodon is too secure and private for them.
They want people to get used to digital id.
There’s no money or power to be had in providing free/libre tools to the masses
So there’s no chance a politician or marketer or anyone who has commerce as their primary motivation will spend any effort promoting it
The incentive is control.
