    that third one killed it for me. I hate what the Internet has become. We need to setup a second Internet that somehow can’t be monetized.

        Correct. Come to I2P and experience 90s internet again. It’s slow but has character, if by character you understand I mean anonymous Geocities.

          Honest question: is there also a boatload of sketchy stiff to avoid if you just wanted to have a nice SFW time? Early 2000s internet before Google indexed everything had some pockets of unsavory.

          Also, is it just a bunch of middle aged dudes in mostly text forums? That’s like 85% of my experience with 90s internet.

      I’m locked in a contract with a company that enshittified their services a little and assigns restrictive IPs to non-Business customers that have been using port 25, but am switching to a more libre ISP as soon as it ends. I basically snoozed and didn’t realise the ISP hadn’t been rated the best for several years.
