@_elena it says:
- "data will be stored on European servers"
- "the algorithms will be visible [source available] and adjustable"
And at the very end it mentions that the platform is commercial.
But no mention of AT Proto and Bluesky. I'm not surprised!

Das Festival und die Alternativen des Fediverse zu den klassischen sozialen Medien (insbesondere auch Mastodon!) waren heute in einem längeren Beitrag Thema bei den Tagesthemen im Ersten!

@hannes99 thank you for the link! I just watched 😊 look @Sascha you're on TV (at 25:38).
Quick Q since I don't speak German: did they mention that W Social is a fork of Bluesky, based on ATproto?
If not, this demonstrates a fundamental problem: how not very tech savvy journalists end up doing superficial coverage rehashing corporate press releases (story as old as time).
