In what way is this better than the existing fediverse platforms?
Who is behind this platform?

Doesn't seem like it's a Fediverse platform. and they have an about section at the bottom. "A small, independent team" from the Netherlands is behind it.

Why use a closed platform when you can have an open universe of places?

Why make yourself dependent on a small team when you can instead be independent and use sofrware create by a large community without being bound to a single provider?

idk, I don't see the point.
