from what I understand, having a verified government ID linked to your account unlocks the ability to post... otherwise you're in read-only mode

📝 #WSocial state of the network 📣

for those who are curious about it, considering the enthusiastic endorsement by prestigious European institutions.

#OpenData allows me to crunch numbers (information about Bluesky PDSs is readily available).

On day 18 since its beta launch in Brussels, W Social has 7935 accounts:

- 90,5% have never* published a single post
- 82,2% have 0 followers
- 78% follow 0 accounts

(may be related to #WIdentity and its 13-step process)

LMK if you find this useful

Because my new article contains a possible solution to their problem, by the time you read this the issue may have been fixed. Or not. It has been going on for 7+ days, with complete radio silence by its developers and founders.
