W is a SWEDISH startup funded by private entities.
It has absolutely nothing to do with France, and the only link you could make here is it’s owned at 25% by a media that received subsidies from the EU, like a lot of media do, and France is part of the EU.
The startup has not been endorsed by any public entity at any level.
So many self hosted or european choices for that and still they created a new one. Same thing with W 😒
France uses Tchap: a Matrix server, and this is to integrate a videoconf system, and it’s based on LiveKit. So they do use available solutions.
W?
A new microblogging service which should be a replacement for Twitter/X but with a identity verification system.
The thing I find particularly annoying about W is that they could have just forked BlueSky and set up the first serious AtProtocol federation.

This is completely irrelevant.
that’s the french way to do things, always reinvent the wheel
