@nicolasvivant @Radgryd "We do not process posts, comments, or any social platform content, as the platform is not yet live." 😂 It's 2030. The platform is already live and is being actively used by five EU citizens. Please join with the invitation code "C"! The top part of the C is for "cyber", the lower for "cringe". Also the middle one. We haz made joke.
I'm sure some centrist edgelords on Bluesky will pontificate about it being the "ethical" option. I honestly don't care at this point - if they're not here, I don't have to block them 😁
W stands for “We.” Meanwhile, the first of the Vs that make up W stands for “Values,” and the second for “Verified.” The fact that W comes before X in the alphabet is certainly also a welcome coincidence.
I can't see anything in that release except some startup promoting itself?
It says "Europeans" but it seems to just be people from that startup talking about itself?
It mentions it has some former ministers on its board but that doesn't give it any kind of official status. Lots of companies have former politicians involved.
There is one word that I love and that does not get used enough, which is "adamism". Adamism is the mental bias of, when you first learn something, thinking that it has just been invented a second ago and you are the first person in the world to notice it. Privileged people do this a lot as they never interact with working class people, other cultures or grassroots activists. They live in closed circles oblivious to long existing ideas, and then they think they have invented those ideas.
