I really did it.
Context:
I am essentially making a hobby of rebuilding my family's filtered version of the internet, leveraging the same powers as the tech giants.
With my setup, instead of promoting partisan hate, the front ends for search and internet access in my home send us in the direction of improving our focus, improving our connection with our own cultural history, and promoting content that reminds us of the great scientists and inventors that made our world possible...
Why expose my children to content that tells them to hate themself or others? Why expose them to areas of the internet full of foreign disinfo agents and their useful idiots? How about give them the experience I had in the 1990s... Freedom from the noise.
- EdSharkey 5y agoWow, you have an interesting skillset to pull that off. Would be a nice little business if you could publish a domain or subsite blacklist that I could subscribe to and somehow plug into my kids' and my browsers to add at least a little friction to their browsing. I'm of the same mind as you, I think, in that you shouldn't allow negativity and hate into your brain or else it will take over. You are taking it to another level by promoting human advancements and nobility. The 90's internet was special, I agree.
- champagnois 5y agoPlanning to try and do something like that.
- betwixthewires 5y agoPlease, please publish this. This is something I hope to accomplish and it would be wonderful to understand how you do it and reduce the workload of maintaining a network like that.
