@xrobau @colinburgess yeah I wish I had a way to peek behind it but obfuscating the actual source is kinda the whole point, to avoid load on the origin

@ricci I bet it’s owned by another bunch of techbros. Just techbros not from USA.
Let’s call them ’Eurobros’ because they just want to do a repeat inside Europe of what the neoliberal project managed to make of the US.

@ricci can you point me to a source that "the EU" has launched that network? With a CEO from Switzerland, famously not an EU member?

Maybe only tech bro corporate social media sites count.

Comission (that is, the EU-ministers) are. The other branches are not.

@ricci It’s undercounting for sure. I don’t see mine on there for instance. I run GoToSocial.
