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 #Fediverse is part of that.
@jwildeboer even the web is not lost.
We just need to change the reference.
Google is not the reference of the web anymore since they want to kill it.Buy independent website still work, we can bring webrings or federated web search like Searx, or newer idea.
We should just stop using Google. It's hard, but it's feasible, and also, it's getting less and less hard as it's such a piece of utter garbage nowadays…

yeah, but internet without a proper search engine sucks.. and creating a new one that finds all the relevant information of the last decades (but ideally not the slop) won't be easyBUT - maybe it could be done with the data of archive.org?
would have further advantage of finding pages that are downwell, and something that indexes current relevant stuff, which, given the avalanche of slop on the current net, would best be curated by humans

@jwildeboer We need to invent some kind of decentralized search engine that is useful to all of us (i.e. we can't just crawl whatever)

@dolanor @jwildeboer the passive-user web is over, though. Navigating the living web requires effort, and supporting the living web will cost money.

I'm of the opinion that organizations that are trying to turn the open internet into yet another walled garden should be thrown off every standards committee and RFC working group.
Why would we want Google to continue choosing the direction that browser standards go?

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.
@astroPug @jwildeboer Not velociraptors. They died out. Think of us as Asteriornis, Wonderchickens.

How could anyone resist something called a wonderchicken?
