I'm a digital ~anarchist. All this regulation doesn't help, it just makes the Internet more ridiculous, and raises the barriers to entry - fuck em. Rather than regulating some sane browser features, we left it to every site to implement a cookies popup, and they are unique enough that they aren't easily filtered. So now every site has cringe popups that nobody reads or understands, thanks regulators!! Really solved that shit. I don't trust these assholes, it's all gonna get lobbied weird and big money pretty much always wins

Real open source is the answer. Common goods for common people, not led by capitalism, but led by shared infrastructure needs that benefit all. Protect the rights to anonymity/privacy online, instead of helping big tech deanonymize everyone. Uphold the values of the constitution of the USA, but in the digital space. And otherwise fuck off, govt

And fuck the rest of the world?

Anarchist nonsense. Zero government = total chaos. The strong eats the weak. Like now, but worse.

This is why I don't like the Fediverse as much. Can you believe that loon got so many upvotes? Describes the average mentality around these parts, what a turn off.
