   @newt dansup the guy who made pixelfed is now making a tiktok clone. maybe I am the stupid one but I don't think it's gonna work so well without predatory algorithms or with the intense privacy focus of Fedi, but the EU gave him money to develop it so yeah maybe I am

     @J @newt he's getting money from the EU to do it and he likes the attention he gets by starting new projects all the time

     @sun @newt So, aside from the fact that TikTok lives and dies by the algorithm, why tf do these people build a completely new infrastructure every time? Why not just take Mastodon, dump a shit load of money into it so you can scale it, and spend a couple weeks on a video centric client?

     @J @newt the money could be better allocated but I don't know what the competition was, maybe nobody proposed anything less dumb

     @sun @newt It's good that the EU is funding these initiatives I guess even if they are old and out of touch. More is better than less.

     @sun @newt I'm happy that the EU does seem to care about ethical software. We don't have anything like that in the US with institutional support.

     @J @newt I'm not against it in concept just for this specific thing I think it's a waste of money.

     @sun @newt Idk. The EU funds Matrix too though, right? I like Matrix a lot, so I can't complain too much. I just wish the clients were a little better and more people used it.
