Looks like [@_elena](https://mastodon.social/@_elena )’s post hit Hacker News. (And that W reinstated their GitHub account? If anyone has time, I’d love an analysis of the source vs upstream.)
W is definitely getting some attention now. For all the wrong reasons.
(That’s good. Let’s make sure we kill its adoption curve so it never gains network effects. The very start is the only time you can kill a VC-funded startup. This is why “the benefit of the doubt” is your worst enemy in these things. That’s all they need to grow until they’re too large to stop.)
Has W Social switched to closed source?
