Our entire internet ecosystem is the "frog in boiling water" metaphor.. They just keep turning the heat up.. we need to delete the entire internet and re-work it from the ground up... somehow

I actually don't agree with this, because while Facebook, X, Amazon, Ai and Google are all the front of the internet, they still aren't all of it. The small web is still churning along with selfhosted blogs and neocities, selfhosted apps are everywhere, some, like Disroot, even open to the public.

People willingly choose to use this garbage and let it into their lives. There's millions of sites and services to see, but people stick with familiarity.

It's like everyone is eating the same meal, even though there's other restaurants everywhere.

So fucking apt. Thanks for framing this the way you did. Really clears up my thoughts on how to discuss this with others.

Just go back to the 2000s and go from there.

Every night, I pray to Jah that I will wake up in a version of 2002 where Al Gore didn't let Dubya steal the 2000 election.

I'm not american, but if I could change one US president from the past, it would be Reagan. A good part of the fuckery we see today (i.e. rampant neo-liberal late-stage capitalism) was enabled by him

i have a feeling not much would be different given how politics go in cycles anyway. W might have even won a 2nd try in 2004 or 2008.
