Maybe it's time for the internet to fork… One for AI, and the rest of the capitalistic crap that the majority of people didn't ask for, and another for actual humans.

@andycarolan agree, but I'm a bit concerned about which fork the businesses (and hence our salaries) will decide to follow.

@andreab Doesn't matter if the work many of us do can be replaced by a few algorithms lol.

@andreab @andycarolan I'm happy to work on one and use another. I already do that with socials, anyway.

@andycarolan Proposal: the Internet stays as it is, but the World Wide Web becomes that human-centric world you’re thinking of.

@andycarolan@social.lol funny, some friends and I been discussing this...
I suppose Gemini fits this @andycarolan@social.lol, but normies will never discover it.

I did take a brief look at Gemini via the Lagrange browser some time back. Perhaps it's time for me to revisit that! @nigel

I should do the same to be fair... I tinkered for a bit but it felt redundant as it was just another copy of my blog. I feel like it's not the answer though. I want my stuff to be accessible for normal folks, presumably that means using http(s) - I guess that means it is accessible for the enshittification brigade as well though in that case.
It needs to be supported by a normal browser I reckon; which means http. If people have to install another browser... it just won't get traction in a big way. I am not sure of an actual solution to this hmm.

@nigel I agree... it would probably just lead to more fragmentation.

The vast majority of people won’t bother to install yet another browser... there's already enough confusion with the current state of browsers and standards lol

@andycarolan getting cyberpunk net disaster and blackwall wibes

@andycarolan Yes. This has kind of already happened with projects like Gemini, however.

@andycarolan

let's start with an alternative to DNS that's ACTUALLY distributed and not dependent on a blockchain. 🔥

@PCurd Thanks Peter, I will take a look! I did install Lagrange some time back to take a look at Gemini... but I never spent much time/effort. Given recent events *waves at everything*, I guess now is the time lol.
