There's a focus on making games here for obvious reasons, and more generally social networking is the big thing (which is possibly justified). But what do you think alt-tech's biggest priority should be at this point?
A couple possibilities:
-
A genuinely free-speech social network. Not "we'll cave to the big corps as soon as they threaten to delist us" but a network that doesn't count on being listed in the App Store, is willing to distribute its own ipas/apks, etc.
-
An alt-tech search engine that doesn't just get its results from the big corp search engines and only indexes non-woke sites. For example, pulling results only from Infogalactic, and not Wikipedia.
Hardware is the main issue, since the software for what you propose exists. Having your own server that can hosts your own peertube instance is one thing, handing a load that google takes care of with a free youtube channel is something else. Plus, you'd be at the mercy of the banks still.
I'm not a primitivist, but I am a technology critic. The way tech currently exists really favors globalist bullshit. I think all the research done on scaling things up needs to be done to scale them down and make it all more local. County or town level even.
