After spending a few minutes, it seems like a mix of mastodon/twitter/reddit. I don’t think it’ll take the place of lemmy/kbin

I don’t have a high opinion of this.
What has Jimmy Wales been doing recently?
- Losing a bunch of money creating WikiTribune
- Pivoting that failed venture to WT Social. Quote, “However, as of November 7, 2019, Wales stated that he had just learnt about ActivityPub and was looking into it.” It took him four years to get around to it?
- Just now taking advantage of us to start yet another social media network. And what does he do first thing? Ask for donations.
Yeah I’m not going anywhere near there.

when the first topic in the “Serious Stuff” is “US politics”, you know it’s yet another US-centered thing. getting tired of this navel-gazing.

It’s too late Jimmy. The time to start on a viable Reddit alternative was more than a year ago. People looking for other options have already found them.

As an active Wikipedian, Vulcan sincerely doubt that this Jimbo’s attempt will be successful at all. An ActivePub support will be welcome however.
His track record with social media isn’t encouraging.
