Based on leaked screenshots this new platform may actually be powered by ATProtocol. Here's more from @boris.

"Launched" is pushing it - it sounds like it's not even federated yet

Hi Anna, the community over on Bluesky noticed that W Social appears to be using AT Protocol and hosting a copy of Bluesky's social-app. One thing you may need to reach European scale is a PDS Entryway service, which is one of the few parts of Bluesky that isn't actually open source yet. If that's something you're after, we should talk, because I'm one of the few people who know how to
build that service.
If you don't know what a PDS Entryway is, see: https://
docs.bsky.app/docs/advanced-guides/entryway

PDS Entryway | Bluesky
Bluesky Bluesky runs many PDSs. Each PDS runs as a completely Separate service in the network with its own identity....

What do we know about the tech stack they’re using? I see nothing herein.

@shoq It's ATProto: https://stage.wsocial.eu/. They're starting with a fork of the Bsky social-app client.
