Europeans set to launch an alternative to X.

That's illegal. They can't do that. There is already a W social media made in Europe (in Spain, to be more precise)

@dansup so is this just X, but when it creates sexualized pictures of children it puts a beret on them as well?

[axalote@social.axalote.dev.br]

@dansup ???????

There's already an European alternative to X, it's called Mastodon

[noahebalon@app.wafrn.net]

at least it's W and not L.

[nelhah@app.wafrn.net]

wafrn already exists brochacho

[hermitcyclop@app.wafrn.net]

That's a pass for me.

[palladiumasteroid@app.wafrn.net]

reading the identification abd photo valudation thing, I'd say it's a giant L

[ehay2k@mastodon.social]

@dansup

More like WC.

[oschonrock@mastodon.social]

@dansup

It seems the concept is fully verified identities.... No Pseudonymity

That probably isn't compatible with the fediverse and is a significantly different value proposition.

I doubt it will succeed among the general public but it might become popular with journalists, corporate and govt accounts.

More broadcast than true N:N.

[buage@mastodon.social]

@dansup I thought it was a joke..

[baofinity@mastodon.social]

@dansup "The new platform, W, will require identification and photo validation to ensure that its users are both humans and who they claim to be"

Good luck.

Also looks like they use ICP

[guarder@mastodon.social]

@dansup danes really are gung-ho on surveillance state huh

[groberunfug2@mastodon.social]

@dansup it like was a joke when i said i want to setup a mastodon server that uses the digital EU federal ID system as login....
