Amazing. W (I kid you not): A bunch of VC-funded European Big Tech assholes attempting to rewrite history by erasing the federated European alternatives that already exist to create their own centralised, surveillance-ridden X clone.Same shit, different flag.And I’m sure the usual fools will flock to it the moment it’s ready.Fuck these people.#EU #bullshit #W #BigTech #surveillance #capitalism #peopleFarming @nicolasvivant https://colter.social/@nicolasvivant/115929963687586528

@aral @nicolasvivant I saw a mention of this in a private group chat I’m part of and I thought it must have been a joke / satire. WTF? 🤡 vibes

@aral @nicolasvivant eh, in reality, most of the federated platforms came in responses pr alternatives to closed ones, for example, you can compare when was Mastodon born & when was Twitterbut yeah, they are becoming worse & worse each day, I am using fb since 2008 and if you compare what I remember with the current state, you'll seriously question why all Tunisians are there, well, most of them anyway

@aral @nicolasvivant these guys spin the faults of US big tech into some sort of nationalist, "patriotic" tale about how europe is inherently superior. it's annoying because it's never been a matter of that.

@aral @nicolasvivant it’s surreal how these folks would throw any new corporate crap at us while ignoring the literal elephant in the room - that ActivityPub has already proved its point and they just need to run their instances.–EDIT–Oh, a closer look points to something interesting:Anonymous accounts and automated bots are not allowed, according to the project’s backersSo how do you prevent anonymous accounts and bots?Simple, with online identity verification!That’s why they ignore ActivityPub 🙂 They’re trying to sell us the solution for an existential problem that they have created themselves around an emergency that doesn’t exist.At this point any Trojan horse that can get EU citizens to swallow online identity verification can work. And if they can edulcolorate with a “but it’s a European sovereign social network!” (even if the ID verification mechanisms still rely on Google’s and Apple’s operating systems) then why not give it a try? 😄

@mastodonmigration @aral @nicolasvivant I checked it and the company is actually registered in Sweden. It’s amazing that they think they can attract regular people with a “top-bottom”-approach by first courting tech companies and LinkedIn peeps . At least bluesky started with the furries and lgbtqia+ people

@mastodonmigration @aral @nicolasvivant The stock is worth €2500 approximately, which is the absolute lowest amount you need to go in with in order to get the approval to start a private company in Sweden lol

@aral @nicolasvivant in fairness to them, Frontex and the terfs in the European Parliament would cause any server like that to be defederated anyway
