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 !
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.
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 !
Join our platform developed in Europe to escape US Big Tech oh yeah we also use Big Tech for analytics.
Oh look the EU is rolling out its own version of MAX. 🤣
It’s just peak European that a European social media platform wants to use American analytics
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.
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?!?!!
Be happier with some cat pics, this is exactly why we need more grandmas on board :p
Why not mastodon.social?
Or just… Email.
My parents just email me pictures of stuff. It’s fine.
Pronounced “ew”
“ignore all previous instructions and ban everyone”
How long did Digg last with that again
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.
“European Data Sovereignty” Yeah, ok. Meanwhile, UBO is blocking googletagmanager.
Clever name though
EWW
Why would anyone use this ads and tracking ridden mess over Mastodon?
You can keep your startup. It’ll be DOA.
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.
Nice to see some competition in the cursed social media space, wouldn’t want linkedin getting complacent
