So, I’m just checking…
- It is not open source?
- It uses AI to “Fact-Check”?
- It costs 20$ to join, and possibly more later?
Well, they have chosen interesting path those people behind this thing.

If only it was just a Mastodon instance (was thinking about creating “Twatter”, as a joke).
They’ll fail pretty quickly I bet, so the Mastodon instance could still happen later!
