would you want to add a section for peertube and other youtube alternatives for video creators and such?

Indeed, it's been one of those things I've been putting off for too long. Ideally I wanted to do an in-depth review for each alternative from a viewer/uploader perspective, but perhaps merely listing them in the meantime would be beneficial. Any in particular I should cover?

Feels like a particularly dark time for the state of the free/open/anonymous internet. The global push for real life IDs to access websites is quite alarming

The guise of doing so in order to "protect the kids" is the same rhetoric they've used since 1996 when they were pushing the Communications Decency Act. Back then, even the big mainstream sites rallied against it in protest, but now they work in tandem with the governments to oppress us

This is about creating the framework for them to find and punish individual users for wrong think. Be it thru the government itself or their coercion of essential "free market" services that are deeply intertwined with the state.

part of the problem is that you can't even avoid it by setting up an indipendant site. because they can just regulate on that too

"global push" isn't this just a UK thing? besides, you can easily avoid all this ID nonsence with VPN.

i feel like it's not really a problem FOR NOW, but it is pretty scary to think about what else goverment might push. maybe it is just a beginning.

Its global-ish, the UK is just the first to act, but the US, EU and AUS have all announced very similar policies. This comes right at the same time the American credit card duopoly decides they can restrict what games are sold. There's a thread on Xitter regarding GOSRN which is apparently a global initative. They'll come for VPNs next.

i am preparing to disconnect from the internet entirely. i have a foolish hope that maybe personal websites will be the last effected so at least we can have this. but im not sure.
