I looked briefly through their site:
But for me the biggest concern is development of a "new" decentralized protocol. IMHO there are enough protocols around to choose and pick from and help moving them forward instead of making one from scratch.
Yea, the hype stuff is concerning. I don't trust all this data in one basket approach.
From a protocol standpoint, I think part of the intent is to have a standardized way to interconnect from disparate social platforms - think email with SMTP. But is that really the answer (like you, I don't think it is).
But that again is pretty scary in my mind - everything all in one basket, again. Do they really intend to build something secure and stable, or is it another honeypot?
It seems like they're building "The One" social graph, which is even more concerning
At first glance this seems to be some bullshit by oligarch Frank McCourt. Billionaires won’t save us, or did we learn nothing from Elon Musk? Musk and McCourt are transnational billionaires and constituent parts of the US military-intelligence-propaganda-industrial complex. My first impression is that he’s trying to capture the federated social media space in order to get it under control, to bring it in line with the corporate social media space which is already integrated with the US propaganda architecture.
Seriously, anyone who’s trying to buy TikTok right now and has the means to potentially do it must have ties with US intelligence “community”.
I mean, McCourt has his own school at Georgetown U.: https://mccourt.georgetown.edu/
Georgetown U., situated literally in the middle of D.C., is a major center for training new generations of US domestic & imperial functionaries.
Can confirm. I consulted there a few times.
Oh, and the kids of very wealthy people.
Billionaires won’t save us, or did we learn nothing from Elon Musk?
Folks have not learned anything.
I just had a thought: How long do you think it'll take for oligarchs to start using current online sentiment manipulation techniques to get people away from distributed, non-profit media back onto the latest incarnation of traditional services?
Definitely a big concern
I don't disagree
