There is no subculture I would trust a website to join today. Thanks to capture on mobile platforms, the web is homogenized. Few remember that a number of twitter competitors all got banned from mobile app stores under the pretext of potential racism and a real fear of breaking up an oligopoly. The history ISP and corporate proxies and caches would disagree with the statement https isn't interdicted, albeit TLS 1.3 has mitigated that for the most part, but there are still a variety of network security tools that require installing a root cert. Browsers are overcomplicated for anything new to grow out of them, and mobile is a walled garden. New culture will need new tech.
- jauntywundrkind 3y agoIf Twitter competitors kept getting their apps banned, that, to me, would stress the need for the web. Which mobile platforms don't control and block. These sites would have been fine fine if they had been PWAs. The web continues to be the best chance to escape the walled garden. I agree we need new tech, but those standards and protocols can grow atop http and yes IMHO html too.
