@aral Assuming W is only for EU citizens, how else could they verify your citizenship?
(I still would not do this)

@aral @lain Matter of time as this copycat of BlueSky, built on American protocol, will have data leak.

Just because something presents itself as "European" doesn't mean it's safe. It's better to stick with fediverse as the network is more trustworthy and built by the people for the people.

@fluffykittycat @aral @lain @fluffykittycat @aral @lain I won't say "Personally I'm a big supporter of These kinds of hacks Because they delegitimize the entire system" because we don't have free speech in the Czech regime and I am afraid they could persecute me for exercising my basic human and constitutional right to freedom of speech, claiming I publicly support crimes.

I also feel

e x t r e m e l y s t r o n g c o n t e m p t

towards the Czech regime when the situation about free speech is like this here.

to any dumbass reporting this post, a simple google search would have spared you the effort of reporting what's a known meme on the polish side of internet

go care about actual doxxing that happens on your very own cesspool instead of getting mad over a photo of an ID that might as well never really exist

@LillyHerself @aral Isn't that xenofobic nationalistic discrimination?

- I launched a new european social network
- New social network, or the modal foundation trying to peddle the same fucking atproto relay again?

@vonKordke @aral @lain a “dox yourself” requirement is never a good thing, fuck off

[vonkordke@social.vivaldi.net]

@hsza @lain @aral
Why are you aggressive? If the scanning is offline (proven by audits), and the app provides just the signal of you being an adult, nothing more, I see no reason not to use it. That's the only way this can be implemented while maintaining privacy.

[mjdxp@labyrinth.zone]

@aral @lain every single online service i can think of has said that your identification materials ever leave your device, then was later exposed for just completely lying about it because it turns out you can just lie about that and face zero consequences. this one's almost certainly no different.

[hsza@social.tudbut.de]

@vonKordke @lain @aral This should not be implemented at all

there’s no excuse for fascist age discrimination tooling that denies anonymity to every user. “privacy” my ass, the core premise is unacceptable

[yassie_j@labyrinth.zone]

@aral@mastodon.ar.al privacy concerns aside, there is no way that anyone is going to sincerely say “follow me on W”

[vonkordke@social.vivaldi.net]

@hsza @lain @aral
You can still be anonymous with that solution, why do you find it hard to grasp? It's really simple. It just has to be verified by the people.
Social media is bad for kids and something must be done.

[amy@sk.girlthi.ng]

@aral@mastodon.ar.al @lain@lain.com also loving the "you can use your full real name or just appear as 'a person'" aspect, very awesome stuff

also love calling your shit decentralised because it uses atproto. good job everyone

[hsza@social.tudbut.de]

@vonKordke @lain @aral i will not install some stupid phone spyware and give it an ID to use some grifters’ social media site

this ignorance on your part is just pathetic, like get yourself a grip, the fascists doing this do not have your best interests in mind

[hsza@social.tudbut.de]

@vonKordke @lain @aral lmao “social media is bad for kids”

sorry you are a fucking part of the problem and you know it

[causeofbsod@wetdry.world]

@EregLoch @aral @lain@lain.com if the verification is entirely on-device then it is likely trivial to spoof with some work in ghidra.
