Scoop: #WSocial has been experiencing major technical problems for over a week: it is effectively a ghost town, filled with thousands of new accounts that cannot use the platform.
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.

Analysis Summary
Elena Rossini reports W Social has been down for over a week with new account creation broken and no developer communication, linking to her analysis with a proposed fix. However, web search found zero independent confirmation of W Social outages — results instead returned information about X (Twitter) and Microsoft 365 problems from the same timeframe, suggesting her specific claims about W Social cannot be verified. The high social engagement on Mastodon indicates her account is trusted by her followers, but the lack of mainstream tech coverage of a week-long platform outage is notable and raises questions about verification.
