It was fun while it lasted. They want control, and they've got it. Years of destroying any alternatives have led to the internet being five corporate controlled websites. And don't worry if you're on the sixth one, it'll be riddled with what's on the other five in a matter of hours.
What's funny is the foundations of for-profit Internetworking was exactly this, after it stopped being an academic/military project. There was Apple with a very early visual BBS service, The Microsoft Network, Compuserve, Prodigy, AOL. The net for computer illiterates started out envisioned as contained safe spaces long before the world wide web and search engines became user-friendly and took over.
Maybe it's better for everyone if we go back to that model - but then also have a completely uncensored decentralized network with the good stuff for the rest of us. If we can't stop normies from going online through their smartphones, at least keep them locked up in their padded echo chambers managed by AI where they can do as little harm as possible.
Segregating us from the normies is exactly what they want. They go after alt-tech because of the remote chance that an alt platform will start attracting normies, it's not a bunch of truth-obsessed spergs speaking amongst themselves that the regime is afraid of. It's why they were so aggressive in getting Parler removed from the Apple and Google app stores under false pretenses once it became the most downloaded app at the time, the normies escaping the enclosure terrified them.
Remember the Candid fiasco? The whole point was for an astroturfed "startup" to train an AI to recognize anti-SJW speech, and then shadowban it so you could shout into the wind while no normies ever hear it. They don't want us talking to normies, because normies are highly malleable. Just look at what a pain in the ass it became for them when skepticism of mainstream medicine frustrated their attempts to force the vax, or when soccer moms finally found out via libsoftiktok that what the MSM had branded as "far-right conspiracy theories" were completely true.
The regime also gets their panties in a knot over based memes that manage to break into the mainstream, look at Pepe for instance which they first tried to brand as a "neo-nazi dogwhistle" and then when that failed they tried to co-opt it. Or how enraged they get whenever Alex Jones goes on Joe Rogan.
They also sold the internet early on as like this crazy dangerous place. "Keep kids safe on the internet" and the like. I don't remember ever being unsafe. Seems like my age-peers being teens at the time had too much natural skepticism or whatever to fall for everything they scare with now. Some tranny groomer would have been met with, "That sounds gay. Shut up you retarded faggot!"
Follow some people that age now, they are all way too trusting as if everything was so safe in the Apple app store they grew up in they don't know how to adapt. I've seen it with my nephew and cousin both. Their friends all share account info all the time like it's normal. When they start getting on cesspools like Discord and the like it's basically free scam targets. They are way old enough to have learned discretion, but when your entire interaction with this stuff prior was the safe harbor of the Apple App Store, how are you supposed to?
