The platform I can trust ? When none of the current platforms I do trust have any cookies at all ? Or analytics?

I’ll stick with the Fediverse k? Thanks !

“European Data Sovereignty” Yeah, ok. Meanwhile, UBO is blocking googletagmanager.

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

Clever name though

Why would anyone use this ads and tracking ridden mess over Mastodon?

You can keep your startup. It’ll be DOA.

Nice to see some competition in the cursed social media space, wouldn’t want linkedin getting complacent

Pyro@programming.dev on 23 Mar 06:54 next collapse

Besides the other issues, the name sucks. Did not one person sound it out before greenlighting it?

sidebro@lemmy.zip on 23 Mar 07:43 next collapse

I bet they did because it sounds like EU when you do

catharso@discuss.tchncs.de on 23 Mar 08:48 collapse

“eww” is not a common sound of disgust/dislike/… in non-english languages.

at least not in german.

not sure 'bout the others.

TheOctonaut@piefed.zip on 23 Mar 09:26 next collapse

It’s not in English either. It’s a media trope, like saying “ouch” instead if “ow, fuck, stupid fucking coffee table cunt”

mr_anny@sopuli.xyz on 23 Mar 11:14 collapse

It’s onomatopoethic and widely undesrtandable regardless of language.

Real time ai fact checking is the selling point. Don’t have high hopes but it can do better than grok

iByteABit@lemmy.ml on 23 Mar 14:09 collapse

Because AI is famously not at all biased in its fact checking.

Surely having a dumb mathematical model that averages all trained input to censor anything it considers untrue based on that average is a great way to keep people in line with the status quo achieve freedom on the internet.

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

Specter@feddit.org on 23 Mar 09:32 collapse

Not just this, if what has happened in the past few years applies here (hint: it does) this platform will just sell to the US as soon as the shareholders feel like having an exit and live like Europeans lords anyway, so what’s that trust worth?

I’d rather be on the federation already.

unwarlikeExtortion@lemmy.ml on 23 Mar 09:41 next collapse

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.

Join our platform developed in Europe to escape US Big Tech oh yeah we also use Big Tech for 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)

Tell me why my dear sweet grandma isn’t welcome to post her cat pics here, coward

She’s more than welcome, I’m just trying to discourage her because I’m afraid she’s gonna steal my already non existent thunder on here.

I don’t have cat pics ok?!! ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?!!! HUH?!?!!

Be happier with some cat pics, this is exactly why we need more grandmas on board :p

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

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

voxel@feddit.uk on 23 Mar 15:02 collapse

Fyi, Mastodon is developed by an European company, so by definition, it’s also a European social network if you chose a fitting instance.

64bithero@lemmy.world on 23 Mar 15:16 collapse

It feels misleading doesn’t it ? Like they are trying to pretend like Mastodon doesn’t exist ? I believe Pixelfed is Canadian ? So to services that are not US based ! And very Ad Free !
