He says X is for freedom of speech, and it is an everything app
but, freedom can't exist without privacy.
Everything app = monopoly = all in one

Well I just found an Decentralized social platform called WireMin.
They claim they are for 100% censorship resistance &100%Privacy due to its decentralized structure.
Somehow decentralized can acheive that right? I mean no censorship.
I haven't heard of WireMin until now. Looking at their FAQs, they have a lot of promises and not much to back them up. There's a lot of red flags here
Hard pass on that. Also 100% censorship resistance sounds good at face value until you realize that can easily be construed to mean that nazis are free to run wild there.
Good point, I saw this on their FAQ page too, not sure if it could explain some.
Hadn't hear of this. Looked into it a bit.
The fact it requires a specific piece of software, even on desktop, puts it one step from (old) Twitter to me.
Even things like Discord - while very much not the same in other ways - has a web version that runs in a browser. Ditto the early 00's instant messaging apps.
Also, the decentralisation seems to all be under the control of the one company(?). They say "no single entity controlling it" but there's not much further detail. I might be mistaken, but it doesn't seem like the Fediverse's version of decentralisation, at least at first glance.
Moving further(?) into tinfoil hat territory: The founder's name is very similar to that of a late Reddit founder, which is worth a double-take. Funny coincidence? Fake name? Either way might be playing on the coincidence? etc. etc. Hard to tell. Dude's probably legit, right?
b) A few of the web links for it were in Chinese, but that's probably a red herring. Translation suggests people in China are using it to get around certain internet issues.
Maybe I'm just suspicious of new things.
I even ask their customer service about this "no single entity controlling it"
