Alternatives to Big Tech are just about to get a whole lot more support and development.

Firstly, from the recent influx of new users and now directly from EU investment!

No better time than now to make the switch.

I believe a good number are moving to Bluesky. However, that is still American. Hopefully, there will be a strong push for a mass exodus from X once W Social is launched.

Personally I really hope the X exodus will not be caused by new venture capitalist platform taking over, even though it might seem increasingly inevitable at this point.

I have extremely little faith in W social—they didn't even manage to set up their temporary landing page properly, indicating strongly that this is run by capitalists rather than talented and ideologically motivated people. Apparently it's a Bluesky fork, so I guess it will have a perceived success by running on ATProto no matter how it goes down.
