    Blame Meta for lobbying for this shit.

    What we need is a new internet.

      There already exist multiple, though they obviously don’t have the same content or capacity as the clearnet, much like Lemmy vs Reddit.

      Like, there’s Meshtastic for WAN-like internet, and Yggrasil, Lokinet, I2P, etc. for multi-purpose internet.

      I’d keep away from TOR though, since that’s the most low-hanging fruit for those who want to peddle services or share content of questionable ethics (and likely soon also for children who don’t want to deal with age verification, leave it to the politicians to blow the boiler by blocking the relief valves).

        Actually, what’s the problem of IP, which isn’t existent in those other protocols?

        Seems a lot like the problem is called capitalism and the reason why it isn’t affecting those other protocols yet is because they are not commercialised yet.
