@_elena btw, Jack Dorsey is now funding and pushing #diVine (Vine 2.0) as an alternative to TikTok. And then there's German #Wedium, all well-funded and advertised by the media.

Hard times for the Fediverse coming, I guess.

@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).
