When I started writing deep dives on #WSocial and their problematic ways back in May I was a lone dissenting voice; mainstream media just rehashed PR talking points.
I can't begin to tell you how GOOD it feels to see others doing deep dives:
1️⃣ "Just 18 unverified VIP accounts produce more than half of all W Social content"

2️⃣ “European public voices choosing W” —But are they?"

Alas these awesome folks are only on the Atmosphere 🥲

@_elena@mastodon.social How creative "VIP" 😂 A wild guess: one of these accounts is from Ursula v.d.L. Making deals via SMS totally backfired https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfizergate Thanks for your efforts! 👍

@_elena@mastodon.social Some media has got rid of a lot of journalists. Simply reprinting/reading PR isn't news, but most media outlets seem to think it is on every subject.
