The free and open internet is damn close to being on the
very last leg of its stay at the ICU and there is little
reason to expect a recovery.
It us all hugely centralized, stuffed with ad inside ads,
and propaganda inside propaganda like a matryoshka doll.
With monetization as the main driving force.
Perhaps the ever-present dream of becoming famous. (and rich)
Those giants abuse their position to kill off what little
remains.
For many the web is "YouTube,Tiktok,Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, Telegram etc"
- timbit42 2y agoIs the internet, 'hugely centralized', or is it just the web that is?
- ThinkBeat 2y agoEmail as moved to centralized for the most part. IRC have moved on to centralized silos for the most part Usenet has largely moved on. finger has moved on. Note you can still run these tools on your own if you want. It is getting progressivly harder. I have given up running my own mail server, since the "big silos" have a strong tendency to reject emails from small servers.
