The platform I can trust ? When none of the current platforms I do trust have any cookies at all ? Or analytics?

I’ll stick with the Fediverse k? Thanks !

    Fediverse already exists, with all its tools and instances (Lemmy, Mastodon, PixelFed, etc). It’s democratic, as anyone can host an instance or join an instance where they are accepted.

    We don’t need more centralized copycats.

    European developers also want to collect tons of data. Just like American ones. Everyone wants my data. Go to hell.

      Not just this, if what has happened in the past few years applies here (hint: it does) this platform will just sell to the US as soon as the shareholders feel like having an exit and live like Europeans lords anyway, so what’s that trust worth?

      I’d rather be on the federation already.

    Fyi, Mastodon is developed by an European company, so by definition, it’s also a European social network if you chose a fitting instance.

      It feels misleading doesn’t it ? Like they are trying to pretend like Mastodon doesn’t exist ? I believe Pixelfed is Canadian ? So to services that are not US based ! And very Ad Free !

    Personally I’m not too eager to jump on yet another big social media bandwagon (this is the first time I hear about this platform) => however I do think it’s a good message/idea to have a platform that challenges meta/X/… and confronts the idea of trust. I’m not saying I trust this but it’s a good message for Joe Schmoe to start talking about these issues.

    Grandma who wants to share pictures of her cat isn’t going to be using a decentralised platform. And she =>needs<= to share cat pics. So it’s either meta or anything else that looks like it. This might be better. (Emphasis on might)

    Why would anyone use this ads and tracking ridden mess over Mastodon?

    You can keep your startup. It’ll be DOA.

    Real time ai fact checking is the selling point. Don’t have high hopes but it can do better than grok

      Because AI is famously not at all biased in its fact checking.

      Surely having a dumb mathematical model that averages all trained input to censor anything it considers untrue based on that average is a great way to keep people in line with the status quo achieve freedom on the internet.

    Besides the other issues, the name sucks. Did not one person sound it out before greenlighting it?

      “eww” is not a common sound of disgust/dislike/… in non-english languages.

      at least not in german.

      not sure 'bout the others.

        It’s not in English either. It’s a media trope, like saying “ouch” instead if “ow, fuck, stupid fucking coffee table cunt”
