In what way is this better than the existing fediverse platforms?
Who is behind this platform?
…
Doesn’t seem like it’s a Fediverse platform. and they have an about section at the bottom. “A small, independent team” from the Netherlands is behind it.
Why use a closed platform when you can have an open universe of places?
Why make yourself dependent on a small team when you can instead be independent and use sofrware create by a large community without being bound to a single provider?
idk, I don’t see the point.
Monetization, most likely.
Should’ve said “I don’t see a valid point.”
Communities don’t need monetization, they need people exchanging ideas and thoughts and so on.
