A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It’s probably only a matter of time before popular forums lock down even view access to everything except Google, forcing people to use and work with monopolies and shutting out smaller player permanently
At that point we start Web 2.0 (or whatever version) where we get any and all the smart people to switch over to our new web. Hell, we could even start it on something like I2P. I'm more than willing to ditch the current web for the smaller community that we could create if it means giving a big "FUCK YOU!" to gøøgl€.
Or better yet, we could start it now rather than wait for the downfall of the normie web.
Network effects. The "we" you're referring to could only be like 100 million at most, the vast majority of people don't have the technical know-how to switch, or to articulate exactly why they feel miserable every time they log in for their daily fix.
