    What a dumb name. This whole Twitter -> X rebranding was stupid to begin with, why would one imitate that?

    Also - Mastodon?

      Mastodon needs a complete rebranding. Name change, logo, UI, and made to be even easier for the average consumer to use, before it’s even considered a competitive microblog site.

    requiring user identification and photo verification

    And so they’ve failed before they’ve begun.

      Yeah it’s a stupid title. Some people are trying to make the most of the moment and start their own social network.

      This makes it sound like this is an EU-mandated social network.

    Yet another attempt at a “lesser evil” just how bluesky appeared to exist. Its essentially the same thing but wrapped in a “European made” wrapper, even it’s policies are the same.

    Europe has the capacity to make good software yet garbage like W gets the spot light. Instead of glorifying the aspect that it is European made, consider the quality it provides.

    Mastodon is the perfect example here as it both satisfies quality standards and isn’t based in fascist america.

    America bad so switch to EU. Oh no, EU bad now, so switch to something else?

    Just use something decentralized, fucking hell. Stop having such blind loyalty to countries.

    requiring user identification and photo verification to prevent bots

    Can’t wait until the next next big thing: “F”, for “Fuck you”.

    Bluesky’s original “invite only but each person can invite” makes way more sense for bot management than “requiring photo identification” that can’t be verified and can be generated by ai.

    It’s a start but They better cut off oracle and palantir too or this is just smoke and mirrors. Pro genocide pro mass surveillance pro mass incarceration Larry Ellison is behind the digital id that EU governments keep trying to shove down your throats.
