I liked the internet better when there was no social media platform but you could get free webpages. For example you could get free hosted website through geocities. Then you had a limited amount of server space and a domain name maybe beginning with geocities but within that space you could host your own websites. And there wasn't much censorship at all. You could have gore or gambling or any spectrum of politics.
The thought of being monitored by moderators on x or Facebook just seems like a daycare for adults. It's dumbed down so that stupid people can easily use the internet, whereas it used to be more catered and designed for based nerds
I also hate using a phone to be one internet. I also hate phone apps. So I always prefer a desktop in an office space setting. Keep phones for calls and texts only. Avoid apps whenever possible.

I made a post about this a while back, pointing out things that fundamentally need to change about the internet so we can get back to the "good old days."
Those days cannot come back. The reason why is simply this: It is valuable, and so people are going to try and exploit it for economic gain. Period.
The only real way to make it work is to take a few steps backward down the technology tree. I'm being quite serious that we'd solve a lot of spam issues if we went back to basic phone calls or even telegraph machines. If people had to be selective about how they place calls and receive calls. Limit the number of possible connections, that sort of thing.
What about the tor and onion project? Cant' just about anyone host their webpages through a tor network without having to register domains or play with bureaucracy?
