    If you need your id to access internet: not use it anymore, selfhosting go brrr

    If you need your id for all content-sharing websites like social media or microblogging: return back to good ol webrings and static websites. Can’t kill the web on its core principles. No algorithms, pure passion and creativity.

    Honestly, back off. The more tech literate I get, the less tech I want in my life.

      This is exactly how I feel too! As a “cloud engineer” (even the titles are pointless) the last thing I want to do is to have anything to do with tech whatsoever, even if I like my job

    I’ll avoid the ID demanding sites. Feels similar to how I never got into iPods because I didn’t like iTunes.

        I used file explorer.

        Much the same theme, I’m glad Calibre exists but I’d prefer to be able to copy files directly to my eReader.

        A simple Web-like hypertext system without styles and scripts. The protocol can be implemented in two days by a complete idiot (I have my own Gemini viewer, I may not be terribly proud of it, but I like it).

            Yes, but with modern technologies where easily done. TLS, markdown-like markup, MIME, prompts for input.

    I’ve gone long years without using any social media associated to my identity, as many others do, and i’ll eat my cooked shirt if I start thinking, “hey sure why not let me into this shitty internet”.

    I’ll be fine without using the internet if it comes down to it, at that point it’d be a liability. Dinosaurs think they can control the internet which is a hilarious proposition in the first place.
