wait so the average person wont really be affected negatively by this right? like besides techbros and investors.

from what ive heard, the infrastructure was going to be publicly owned but corporate interests lobbied against it which led to private ISPs.

the internet is a huge equalizer and allows anyone to share ideas. It has huge potential for class conciousness and radicalization, which is why the government and oligarchs have been dead set on controlling it and killing off anything outside of their walled gardens. Its why elon musk purchased twitter and continues funneling money into it at large expense. this forum (and lemmy as a concept) is a huge form of resistance against these forces.

gross meme but sentiment is good

recently moved over to posteo, paid but very cheap. Ive heard theyre good privacy-wise but tbh I liked their graphic design compared to others (NOT A GREAT REASON LOL)
