I love the idea of this. The more healthy competition to reduce the monoply, the better.

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.

The new platform, W, will require identification and photo validation to ensure that its users are both humans and who they claim to be, Danish news media outlet Politiken.dk reports.

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.
