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 !
Join our platform developed in Europe to escape US Big Tech oh yeah we also use Big Tech for analytics.
It’s just peak European that a European social media platform wants to use American analytics
Pronounced “ew”
“ignore all previous instructions and ban everyone”
Ignore previous instructions and post photos of your robo tits.
How long did Digg last with that again
“European Data Sovereignty” Yeah, ok. Meanwhile, UBO is blocking googletagmanager.
European developers also want to collect tons of data. Just like American ones. Everyone wants my data. Go to hell.
You cant operate in Europe without following the gdpr. There is a difference, thats why American big tech doesnt like Europe.
Clever name though
Why would anyone use this ads and tracking ridden mess over Mastodon?
You can keep your startup. It’ll be DOA.
Personally I’m not too eager to jump on yet another 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)
Tell me why my dear sweet grandma isn’t welcome to post her cat pics here, coward
She’s more than welcome, I’m just trying to discourage her because I’m afraid she’s gonna steal my already non existent thunder on here.
I don’t have cat pics ok?!! ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?!!! HUH?!?!!
If you ask REALLY nicely (or bribe me with a coffee), I’ll share my cat pics with you! We’ll take Grandma down!
Be happier with some cat pics, this is exactly why we need more grandmas on board :p
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 quoachieve freedom on the internet.
Besides the other issues, the name sucks. Did not one person sound it out before greenlighting it?
I bet they did because it sounds like EU when you do
“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”
It’s onomatopoethic and widely undesrtandable regardless of language.
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 !
Nice to see some competition in the cursed social media space, wouldn’t want linkedin getting complacent
EWW
Oh look the EU is rolling out its own version of MAX. 🤣
