    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.

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

    Also - Mastodon?

      I’m all for it. I think it was the initial vision for the internet and web, and we got sidetracked by growth and commercialization. I do have to wonder if such a move did happen, a sudden shift of mainstream to here (in general, the Activity Pub’s various forms), could it handle it? Fast growth was a huge hit with the Reddit migration(s), and that was “just” Reddit.

    The new platform, W, will require identification and photo validation to ensure that its users are both humans and who they claim to be

    Kind of them to get that out of the way in the first sentence. No further reading required.

      Lol, why not blood samples? IDs and photos can be faked by AI but not blood…yet.

        I refuse to use anything that doesn’t allow authentication via bunghole print. It’s just more convenient.
