Why not M?
requiring user identification and photo verification
And so they’ve failed before they’ve begun.
W - EU I guess😭
They should have named it Wayland…
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.
Honestly, I prefer this.
I can stand behind my words.
Lol, why not blood samples?
Could just mail in a stool sample.
I refuse to use anything that doesn’t allow authentication via bunghole print. It’s just more convenient.
A SmartPipetm subscriber in the wild?
What was that movie with the gentic id stuff, gattaca? Yeah, shouldn’t give them too many “good” ideas…
You’re wishing a glorious doom upon us, my friend.
Ah man, I almost got excited for a second…
Left X when it was Twitter. Currently using Mastadon, Lemmy, Piefed. Will try W.
Let’s support W and see how it goes.Oh for the love of. Just invest in the fucking Activity Pub and similar FOSS Decentralized systems people.
Germany has been running official mastodon instances for politicians and government offices for years
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.
I think what will happen is the big name corporate sites will collapse and the amount of online users will drop to just folks that have a use or passionate interest.
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.
They have a cute logo and posts being called toots is the best thing ever. No idea what you’d want to change on Mastodon
Does it? Also there is so many frontends to choose from and so many other projects. What normal people needs to realize is that they are played and the whole “But there is so much choice” argument is stupid. Imagine going to the shop where there is one type of bread called bread (super easy to use, without crust so people without teeth can chew), one type of milk (cause with bother with people having different preferences), one type of pasta etc. The more choice the better and federated networks offer exactly that. You can walk into the store and choose product you like for whatever reason. But no matter what type of bread you choose, you can still make sandwich. And this whole “W” thing is an easy money grab. Create some media attention, grab VC/European funding and create shitty clone noone will use, then say “Well looks like US corporate offerings are better afterall. Oh look democrats are back”.
I was hoping they’d call it Twitter
Imagine Elon isn’t letting that trademark expire. Only valuable thing left from that $54b.
Just revoke the trademark in Europe
Y?
Y U NO Z?
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.
They should have called it XXX.
Or XOFF
