Not everyone wants to bounce all over the net to look at what they have a thirst for.

Then they get the shitty internet they ask for

Pornhub is restricted from hosting certain kinds of legal pornography.

Those are your choices
Shithouse sites given too much influence who will continue to fuck you over in whatever way is convenient, including selling your data, hiding news stories etc
Or
Bookmark more shit

so implement search @Poppy Rider

Some ppl still watch TV .

GUYS

it's better to have a few places to find things
than a group of boy kings who control everything

Sometimes I don't know what I'm in the mood for.

my bad 😅

"Sometimes I don't know what I'm in the mood for"
That's a great reason to hand power over to a few people

I agree, Boy kings are not a good idea, but I didn't say they platforms have to be dictatorships.

Like the negatives massively outweigh the positives

I said platforms are not a bad idea in and of themselves.

They are. These massive platforms are the source of these problems by the nature of their construction

Having a family friendly site of 4chan aka reddit is not hurting anyone.

platforms are a bad idea
relative to distributed systems that enable people to own their own identity
and communicate on their own terms

Wot

Reddit is terrible

Reddit is a shilling and genuine fake news platform lol

I'd love to go back to the pre-Facebook, pre-Google profile internet, but the cat's out of the bag.

I don't use reddit - I also don't care that it exists
as it should be

Go back to what? Usenet?

oooh daddy!

there's not really an option to go back

but you can reclaim some of the ideas we had before web 2.0
and move forward

signal is a great example, imho

There's always an option to reinvigorate the Internet's classic decentralized social media protocols.

you could build a lot around that

and the core is funded by a $50mm foundation

so it isn't going anywhere any time soon

The good old days after far behind you. The net has grown by orders of magnitude since then. Discovery and introduction, aggregation and shared spaces. Having a few of theses places is not a bad thing. Massive sites where I could let my kid run loose.

do you let your kid run loose here @Poppy Rider ?

( on discord )

Not online, no.

No

yeah

no, huh
