European organizations are about to launch their own social media platform, W, amid rising tensions with the United States.
The new platform, W, will require identification and photo validation to ensure that its users are both humans and who they claim to be, Danish news media outlet Politiken.dk reports.
Why would we want another Twitter? Look at the first one. Screw that. Maybe social media should not exist in that format for a reason.
The Threadiverse is also social media. I mean, it’s distributed and not owned by a single company, and much of it is funded by donations, but…
EDIT: And Mastodon is a direct competitor to Twitter, and it also runs on the Fediverse.
I think they mean microblogging as a format
Well…I mean…even assume that they did. Mastodon fits that, and was built specifically to be a Twitter alternative. Heck, even on the Threadiverse, Mbin supports both formats, does both Reddit-style Lemmy/PieFed Threadiverse communities and Twitter-style Mastodon microblogging.
