Seems a little buggy but idgaf this is a thousand times better than the last attempt at a foss Xitter app
While this app seems sensible, I checked out the github developer account DimensionDev and it looks like their primary product is something called Mask which is something about “Web 3” crypto/NFT integration … looks like they’re a libertarian crypto grifter cult to me. They also have a gaudy, nonfunctional company page whose copyright notice reveals that is owned by a Chinese parent company with it’s own stale, uninformative web page.
It’s open source, and yeah, maybe they thought they’d make something actually useful … but the source is full of red flags.
So you don’t like AI and you may find the dev not to your taste + too Chinese, however unlike the dozen other guys/groups exactly like main dev I have seen make a fediverse app with AI slop characteristics or twitter app, this one is actually functional, snappy interface, and successfully connects with twitter & dms reliably. Just turn off the stupid AI summaries everyone adds to everything and it’s a great little app with a functioning share button.
Why are you talking about AI? They said nothing about AI.
Because that’s the only red flag I saw? What else have you got, “ooh scary Chinese”? Lol if only you could hear my mental monologue when I observe german technology workers. I’m not quite as candid as this guy tho. No not quite
Hmm, I didn’t say anything about AI (although you’re right that, like most people in the fedi, I don’t like it) and I’m not anti-Chinese. It’s the crypto connection which raises trust issues. They list Binance as a partner and supporter, whose founder was convicted of fraud and pardoned by Trump because his sons are in on the crypto grift.
I don’t think I’ll be trying this app out, even though it sounds interesting, unless some trustworthy party audits the code. But hey, you do you.
