I think the internet will get worse in the future; someone gets offended by everything, nobody lives without being criticized here.

It will be horrible.

There will be more and more people (like me) searching for things like lemmy and Gophernet and IRC to avoid corponet. Normies will wallow on the 3 corporate websites like they've been doing for 10 years.

Its already borderline unusable even with proper tools (waterfox, ublock, searxng/kagi are a MUST)

Truly, the good days of the internet are gone and will only come back in underground form.

Can you tell me what Waterfox is? I'm not informed :(

Better version of firefox!

I have not actually made the switch yet but its supposed to be a fork of firefox thats not controlled by Mozilla. Someone correct me if wrong.
