bear with me but the internet has to be killed because it's pushing us toward a world where borders no longer make any sense. Like with climate change, conservatives understand the true scale of this threat instinctively & liberals think they can compromise with a hurricane.

people don't ban stuff to 'make it go away' or because 'they don't want to see it'; to ban something means to control it. They'll do it to the entire internet, obliquely and ASAP. In large part bc the most threatening, enraging thing in the world to the people who run things is a paywalled Onlyfans.

every little thing that makes you go 'why is this so shitty now', a camgirl was blogging about it 10 years ago

I refuse to join any Discord or websites that require you to show your face to anyone or anything. I grew up in the 90's being told not to do that online (Some sites, like Bluesky, imo, is an exception, but they never forced it on me)

Be ready for apps and sites you visit regularly, particularly social media, music, video, and news sites, to suddenly lock you out unless you submit to their nefarious surveillance.

Download, screenshot, archive, and backup anything you want to save.
