Europeans set to launch an alternative to X. It’s called W

Bye, X: Europeans are launching their own social media platform, W

European organizations may soon launch their own social media platform, W, requiring user identification and photo verification to prevent b

The main behind this site is that it will be "human verified" and will require your photo ID and your photo to validate who you are

the site is meant to be an alternative to X/twitter, when the EU and US tech companies are fighting each other, over ideas of privacy and censorship

Anna Zeiter, CEO of W, said in her LinkedIn post announcing the launch of W, Zeiter emphasized that systemic disinformation is eroding public trust and weakening democratic decision-making.

“We believe 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,” she wrote.

(let's just ignore chat control and the boat load of privacy issues that come with online photo ID's)

The website is not available right now

In case anyone was interested, I’ve also been posting on Bluesky a lot more and more folks are migrating there after leaving the bird app for good.

You can follow me here!

I’ll still be posting on Tumblr too (I find it easiest to post most of my art here again), but catch me on Bluesky if you’re in to the feel of Twitter without all the bots, right-wing assholes, and AI slop.

With Twitter’s imminent awful changes to blocking and Musk’s general terribleness, Bluesky is a Twitter alternative that’s been the most active alternative social media I’ve used so far.

And with Tumblr’s CEO becoming more like Musk by the day with tantrums and lawsuits, Pillowfort is a Tumblr alternative that I’ve been using for past last year and have really loved. Here’s a post where I talk more in depth and answer questions about it if you’re interested.

And if you do decide to join either:

Follow me on Bluesky

Follow me on Pillowfort

Btw with the recent shitty Twitter updates, for people who don't use it or want an alternative, I also have Bluesky for those interested.

Another user on Mastodon explained the appeal of the Fediverse, and I do think this is one of the better explanations I've seen yet.

I remember the day, a few months ago, when some person squeaked out a querulous, hopeful message to the void: "So...on this platform we can

Spoutible Disinformation Alert

You may have heard recently from certain people on Twitter that Spoutible suffered a big data leak. Don't believe it, it's all a big fat hoax concocted by a bunch of bad actors designed to scare people away from joining Spoutible and make Christopher Bouzy look bad. Among the people behind this hoax is Fareesh Vijayarangam who happens to be the co founder of rival social media site Mentza. He also was the same person who claimed back in February to have access to the data of thousands of Spoutible users.

Christopher Bouzy on Spoutible

⛔This is Fareesh Vijayarangam. In February, he falsely claimed he accessed thousands of users' data at Spoutible. Today, with the help

Christopher Bouzy on Spoutible

Earlier today, someone random person falsely reported a data leak at Spoutible with a list of IP addresses to scare people into deleting the

If you are wondering why they suddenly disabled the delete account function temporarily, it was mainly to help reduce strain on the servers because these same bad actors were also making an attempt to overwhelm the servers with fake delete account requests.

Essentially what we are seeing is a multipronged disinformation attack meant to both depict Spoutible as unsafe and untrustworthy and to paint Christopher Bouzy as a villain. A lot of the misinformation you see on Spoutible tends to fall into these two categories.

I encourage anyone who is on Spoutible to share this as much as possible. I have enjoyed my time on the whale very much and I would hate to see it go under.

Uh, gonna change some things??

Hey yall! So, I dedicated the last entire year to instagram almost exclusively and ngl that was exhausting, that platform is just too demanding nowadays and heck I need a break

Sooo I decided I'll be bringing my text posts to here or whatever other twitter alternative that has fandoms in it, since most of my text posting are ramblings about my hyperfixations yk?

It's just a lot easier and more worthwhile posting this stuff here rather than instagram where no one will read anything bc we don't open instagram for that LOL

Sooo yeah, just letting you guys know before I start fangirling outta nowhere LOL I hope yall won't mind me being more active over here!

In general I love tumblr's current atmosphere and there're some discussions going on here that are veeeryy interesting so I'm excited to start being more present here!!!
