Not that I particularly want this to sound anti-American, but if there's just less overwhelmingly US-centric news I'd be very interested.
I mean this in the nicest way, but you guys over there are fucking mental at the moment and it's exhausting just hearing about it.
I love the idea of this. The more healthy competition to reduce the monoply, the better.
Why not starting an EU Fedi node?
They don't say what tech it's behind it but according to the article, it would be decentralized in Europe.
Personally I don't mind if it's not federated with the fediverse, but imho, at the very least the protocol / basis should be FOSS.
Most of them are hosted in Europe, even .world.
So technically we already have it. If you meant a feddit.eu and move all European communities there, idk of it's worthwhile given the above.
