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

Also, it’s going to use LLMs to handle moderation.

Pronounced “ew”

To be honest, even this seems like a step in the right direction, as they’re direct and transparent about exactly what they use. Sure, it should be normal, and those toggle popups with a “Reject All” that does not cover everything (usually strategically leaving “legitimate interest” be) should rot in bankrupcy after a fine. Without large and sure fines, it’s the cost of doing (profitable) business.

Hopefully, eYou will see the good aspects of not using invasive tracking tech, especially america-based black boxes.

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.

It’s just peak European that a European social media platform wants to use American analytics

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)

Oh look the EU is rolling out its own version of MAX. 🤣
