- ricardobeat 10d agoI think the difference they alluded to is that they manually vetoed new users, presumably based on their self-declared goals and ideology, whereas Signal etc are neutral platforms.
- Grombobulous 10d agoYeah I didn’t elaborate since this was explained elsewhere in the thread.
- pepperoni_pizza 10d agoThe A/I vetting was in the form of a form asking why do you want A/I email or blog. You could write anything in it. Meanwhile, Signal requires a phone number, so it knows much more about your identity than A/I did.
- SpicyLemonZest 10d agoHow do you know what the A/I vetting consisted of or what standards they held? They don't seem to have published any detailed description of the process, and by their own account they destroyed all records of the vetting after approval.
- mitxela 10d agoMaybe they clicked on the signup form while it was still live. You know, to gather actual information instead of speculating. Several fediverse instances have the same thing. It's just a freeform textbox saying why do you want an account.
- SpicyLemonZest 9d agoAgain, I'm working off of the only actual information I'm aware of, A/I's self-description of how the process works. If someone has more information they should provide it rather than relying on maybes! The existence of an intake form, to be clear, doesn't really suggest that form is the extent of the process or that any reasonable answers are accepted.
