It's just peak European that a European social media platform wants to use American analytics
Specter@feddit.org · 25 pts · 138d
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.

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

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

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

You cant operate in Europe without following the gdpr. There is a difference, thats why American big tech doesnt like Europe.

Why would anyone use this ads and tracking ridden mess over Mastodon?
You can keep your startup. It'll be DOA.

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
FreddiesLantern@leminal.space · 5 pts · 138d
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?!?!!
moonshadow@slrpnk.net · 3 pts · 138d
Be happier with some cat pics, this is exactly why we need more grandmas on board :p
technomage@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 137d
If you ask REALLY nicely (or bribe me with a coffee), I'll share my cat pics with you! We'll take Grandma down!

Or just... Email.
My parents just email me pictures of stuff. It's fine.

Besides the other issues, the name sucks. Did not one person sound it out before greenlighting it?
sidebro@lemmy.zip · 14 pts · 138d
I bet they did because it sounds like EU when you do

"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 · 3 pts · 138d
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 · 1 pts · 138d
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 · 5 pts · 138d
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

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 · 8 pts · 138d
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 !

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.
