Now that Google , FB wants to trap us and control every aspect of the Internet browsing, Is it even possible to break free.

Or creating new Internet is a unrealistic idea ?

    The internet’s fine - the web’s the problem.

    ssh, Call of Duty, email, random voice-call software on strange ports - all of them work fine. People have problems with websites.

    Plenty of websites of course are fine, the problems present when people use search engines and find a bunch of guff written by a bot, Paywalls, and sign-up screens.

    They say the best way to predict the future is to create it, so if you want to help there, ‘make good art’, write and share good content, don’t feed the machine. Sounds like you’re doing that already if you’re on Lemmy.

    And if you want to check out a quieter corner of the internet, where things aren’t all in-your-face-sing-up-click-here-now-NOW-DOIT…download the lagrange browser and check out Gemini. It’s a mostly plain-text protocol, where people read and write, and sometimes share whacky music.

          I don’t believe that anybody seriously believes the incredibly thin obvious lie that China is not a capitalist state, just look at it xD

        “Plain text” and “plaintext” are not the same.

        “Plain text” = “not images, video, etc.”
        “Plaintext” = “not encrypted”
