If we want online discourse to improve, we need to move beyond the big platforms.

We’re in a very strange moment for the internet. We all know it’s broken. That’s not news. But there’s something in the air—a vibe shift, a sense that things are about to change.

    It’s a different reason for losing respect for those two sides.

    For the site markers, it’s about greed and where they draw the line for what they want their website to look and behave like.

    For the users, it’s that they aren’t willing to learn just a little bit to improve their lives a lot. Like on Android, it’s just a matter of installing Firefox and ublock origin. You can further fine tune it from there but that’s enough for me to forget how cancerous the internet has become unless I end up browsing on a different browser (I hate apps with built in browsers).
