Talk about why every single site except reddit and fbi.gov has been complete and utterly abandoned.
>Interesting things going onBrowsers are all forcing https by default. On the surface this sounds like a good idea but in reality it's part of a larger plan of control.
Website owners are now at the mercy of the cert authorities. Host something they dont like? you cert gets revoked and now your site wont load on 99% of web browsers.
you have been shutdown.
>What is the dead internet theory?Dead internet is partly caused by a generational problem, zoomers just want to be where they're friends are. it's understandable, we even did the
same back in the 2000s. everyone was on AIM and myspace. The only difference is those platforms actually did allow free speech back then. now the
internet has become more centralized and a handful of big corps run it all. they are in charge of what gets said on their platforms. not you.
>big techs goalBig tech is fighting a future war. They know the young are the future. It’s about indoctrination. They are building their vision for the future. A dumbed down controlled population.
>What is the purpose of these threads?To start a community outside of those corporate owned platforms.
To have a place to discuss things without having to self police yourself.
To discuss and share decentralization technologies.

Still, what really interests me is Usenet
I know it's still "alive", but are people actually active on it to be considered a social hub?
>>16322Fuck off with your glowie Matrix bridge. We sure need more American-TelAviv alternatives for the dead internet, for sure.
Fuck off to Matrix and 4ch.
>>16345>.onion doesn't protect against man-in-the-middle attacks because it doesn't encrypt the last relay traffic when there's the lack of HTTPS.Yes it does. That's why you don't need https on .onion domains.
MITM attacks aren't possible on v3 .onion domains (and unlikely on v2) because they are 56 characters long. These 56 characters are a base 32 number based on the server's public key. You would have to guess the matching private key to do a MITM attack.
>>17426Also it doesn’t help that the developers of those algorithms had generations of people that had already grown up on pervasive masscult in other mediums such as TV and cinema and print and radio
Every conceivable petty prejudice and inclination already hammered out for them
>>17427Yet computer scientists going back to the 1960s saw the goal of search features as actually serving the wanted data from an ocean of data. AT&T Bell Labs during development of Unix would think the idea of a search that injected "recommended" results as completely stupid as why would want the computer to do something you didn't ask it to do. Imagine if databases worked like this, you searched a field and the database pulls up records that has nothing to do with what you just queried based on what you searched days prior.
Yet you have Google's search getting worse due to it throwing in results that has nothing to do with your query and I would think the old school computer scientists would see this as completely unacceptable.
>>21899Wtf
If this is true then it's a fucking massive example of Poe's Law
>>30677What were the old leftist forums? What were they like?
The oldest lefty site I remember was a Chomsky fan site that had a garish turquoise background and a big list of US military interventions and CIA coups.
