    Yes, let’s switch from the dumpster fire that is twitter, to the competitor that didn’t launch in the EU, because it has horrible privacy practices.

    The internet in 2023

      The internet in 2023 also brought us Mastodon, Lemmy and the rest of the fediverse (yes, they were there before. But the corporate social media finally managed to piss off enough users) and resurgence of IRC, Usenet, XMPP, etc, while services like matrix are going strong.

      Yes - those are more exclusive and smaller in size. But they are viable (except perhaps the really old protocols). And we finally have something to look forward to. 2023 wasn’t all that bad.
