| I find this sentiment baffling. > Now look at the web. It's unusable without an ad blocker. Don't like ads? Don't visit sites that run ads. For instance, I can't read most of online newspapers because of the ads; so I just don't bother. I visit HN instead. > The tech mafia keeps tracking people and censoring the web, practicing right-speak and removing critical voices. I don't know what right-speak is (is it speaking correctly or speaking on right-wing political topics?), but: - peer-to-peer technologies exist (Odysee, Bitchute, etc.; still relying on the browser to work) - less censorious networks exist (e.g. locals) - you can self-host your own platform where you set the rules (phpBB, mattermost, etc.) - you can run your own blog ang right-speak there to your heart's content; and maybe if this right-speech in interesting, you can attract commenters to exchange ideas (if you find this valuable) |
