I bet 7 liters of my own blood that they will 100% use algorithms, show ads and have subscription grade accounts. The second they smell any profits is the second they sell out. Greed consumes all.

the fediverse works because its not trying to make money. if this company raised money already that means people believe they will see a return. so how does it make money?

i cant read the article because i guess techcrinch has i trusive ads and doesnt like my ad blocker

Fediverse:

There's also federated social media. If anyone needs a primer, I made a video on it. No AI. No Ads. Just great communities and human moderation.

The thing I like about social media is that no social media has the answer to what's wrong with all social media but you can bet everyone on social media loves their version of social media and believes everyone should use that social media.

Social networks need to be big to work. Power users are a minority. So a social network funded by subscriptions of power users is bound to fail.
This obviously is an investor SCAM, and/or they are just lying and plan to do ad-funded free-to-use once they grew big enough.

A website without algorithms is like food without chemicals. It cant exist.

Focused on private groups of friends and family

So, a group chat.

the future of social networking lies in small, private communities powered by messaging, photo sharing

So it literally is just a fancy group chat. Or I guess a singular feed of multiple group chats...

Thats gotta be some money laundering scheme, i bet it'll never release.

AI features designed to strengthen relationships, but has no algorithms.

DOA.

Without algorithms it won't exist.
