A screenshot of wedium's FAQ section displaying the point: "Is wedium connected to the Fediverse?"

The answer:
"No, we deliberately decided against an open-source solution, especially after Trump used Mastodon’s code for his Truth Social. On top of that, the Fediverse offers no way to monetize. No one can make money there, which makes it unattractive to media outlets, brands, and creators. That’s why it can’t scale. We want to build a platform that can stand up to the big tech companies—and that’s only possible if we make the platform attractive to a wide range of stakeholders."

How France’s Mistral Built A $14 Billion AI Empire By Not Being American
Paris-based Mistral wanted to develop a top-tier AI model to rival OpenAI and Anthropic. That didn’t work out. But it turns out lots of folks don’t care if the AI is bleeding edge – as long as it wasn’t made in America or China.
