@doktorzjivago Yeah, I don't really see a point in this. Maybe it is just so that they can say they tried and it didn't work out.

@stefan Great. Now China will launch Y and Russia Z. Alphabet remains stable.

@stefan looks like a Davos stunt, a bid for LinkedIn fame.

I’m fairly confident we’ll have forgotten the whole thing in under four weeks from now.

@slothrop Yeah, this is what I'm thinking.

"If you didn't build it, you can't control it and/or censor it"?

@stefan @Lockpro The issue never was anonymity, but lack of accountability. Both for platforms and users.
If you post something vile, your account is suspended and it's a hassle to re-register you'll think twice before doing it again. But the current socal media standard¹ is you can post something vile with your full name and employer visible and still continue as if there's no problem.

@stefan It's a startup using big words, is all I can see. Not sure where this "European organisations" stuff comes from.

@jwildeboer @stefan yeah, all I read is, "former ministers and business representatives, primarily from Sweden" hatched their plan at Davos. Definitely something for Europeans to be wary of, a C-Level exec looking to increase their net worth, having cut their teeth at eBay.

@stefan so long as they federate it, good. if not, they get a weak one.

@stefan Really? ‘W. A step ahead from X.’
Can I get my branding money now?

@falcennial Yeah, I don't see anything about federating. And don't really expect that happening. But I guess we'll see!

@stefan oh okay so barely anyone will use it then. I guess it's probably fine for publishing notifications from government officials and institutions though.

They should build it in such a way that they can link to approved fediverse servers.

@stefan ooph. No, thankyew.

@stefan @briankrebs It’s not. On the Fediverse they can’t make people verify themselves with ID documents but on this new platform they’re making, they can do that.

@MisuseCase Yep, that's what I'm thinking. https://stefanbohacek.online/@stefan/115929732351043465

@briankrebs

@stefan "European organizations" like who ? Also, this is going nowhere.

@stefan

*There are 5 competing social media networks*

- This is so stupid! We need to create one that will combine and unite all the users!

*Result: there are 6 competing social media networks*

@stefan ... wait, are you telling me this isn't satire?

Seriously? Another silo?
