<![CDATA[It's the internet, people.]]>It's the internet, people. It's OUR internet. Just because we decided to trust Google to not be evil doesn't mean that Google decides the future of the internet. We may very well have lost The Web, but we still can make the Internet of People. Decentralised. Unownable ;) Being here on the is part of that.

I’d like to think of us all as digital velociraptors. Smaller than a t-Rex, maybe with feathers, but we will find a way.

Mastodon is one of those services. Peertube another. And there are many more.

and I mean the bandwidth is very limited, but it depends on what you want to do with it; some ideas:
- use it to negotiate higher speed connections on different direct protocols
- bare minimum optimized comms, kinda 80-90s style instead of the modern "let's wrap everything in a fat high overhead variable dump interpreted by a full application we send to you as whole every (uncached) page refresh"

it's also more of an example of things we could make

Meshtastic is more like a telegram service than the internet.

Totally onboard with the "self-host all the things", though!

But the internet is bigger than the web.After 30 years, it might be time to think about new things.

Or is there too much damage and A.I. slop already?

If everyone would dump big tech in favor of selfhosted grassroots communities and systems, we could become the next big tech ourselves

If everyone would buy a meshtastic node today we could have another internet

Anything is possible if you work towards it

We will end up with link lists again and making sure to use RSS. Being a little more concentrated is probably good for our attention span as well.
