A group of organizations in Europe has launched a new social media platform, W, as an alternative to X. "There is an urgent need for a new social media platform built, governed, and hosted in Europe. With human verification, free speech, and data privacy at its core," CEO Anna Zeiter said in a LinkedIn post announcing the venture. @PCMag has the details.
What do we know about the tech stack they’re using? I see nothing herein.
@TechDesk lol "Data privacy at its core" - that's why people need to use real names and verified IDs to join... what clowns...
Based on leaked screenshots this new platform may actually be powered by ATProtocol. Here's more from @boris.
@kdekooter @PCMag With very widespread adoption in Europe, too (and first developed there, of course!).
@TechDesk @kdekooter @PCMag announced on LinkedIn says it all. This won’t go anywhere
