Stop using the Internet. Seriously.
I already only used open source products for decades now, and the Internet is just a network, you can use different networks, different protocols if you want, even embedded on current Internet protocols, or maybe use even something that completely sidesteps the Internet
Either way, the Internet has mostly been a failure
what different networks or protocols does exist?
All of my services are in a WireGuard VPN. The Internet only transports my VPN traffic. My cloud services run in a locked box, in my house and the only thing coming out of that box is VPN traffic.
To my devices, they just think that they’re on a LAN.
I do use this site, but I limit/lie about personal details and use a VPN. I assume I’m identifiable and act accordingly.
Tor for one, it rides on top of the internet.
As online spaces start to demand I dox myself, I will remove myself from those online spaces (see: Reddit). If that means I ultimately leave the internet as a whole, then so be it.
We should really start concentrating more on decentralization.
Take Freifunk as example and similar projects.
What we need is a user-run private alternative to the internet. Wireless mesh networks are a very interesting step in that direction.
As long the infrastructure is owned by the government and companies, we will never be really free.
Probably it will not be all “internet” but some parts of it. Since I already live without many invasive services it shouldnt be big challenge for me. Obviously Facebook and Google already asks for ID everyone, so any changes at all. Probably its better do not exist on the internet than exist on castrated, polished, theocratic internet
You have to have an id to make a Google or Facebook account? That’s wild.
Next December, it will be required in Australia
Fake ID generator? 🤣
I am going to go on the internet and tell lies about my identity
Wait for the internet to fracture. There could end up being multiple internets… you could argue it is already that way to some degree.
I will leave the internet and seek alternatives.
Not much changes. This will affect the commercial web, but I consider that the commercial web’s polish to be not really worth the privacy invasion before this. All the small web/fediverse/indie web/open source/Free/gemini/gopher/irc/ whatever alternative stuff is plenty to keep me happy, despite always being clunkier. It’s good enough.
Continue to not give it, what do you mean?
the internet won’t ask shit, specific websites will, which can and should be avoided
Stop
I’ll continue to not ask for ID and run my own services open to anyone and everyone.
will stop using the services probably require my id.
Stop using any sites that require ID.
Ditto. Also:
- Try to use Memoji to make fake ID
- Go to the mall =O
- Go to the library
- Go to the brick and mortar places I used to visit before getting everything online (eg. bank, fam owned businesses)
- Talk to people instead of AI (going to practice that this weekend)
- Go for a walk outside instead of updating the firmware on treadmill
- Buy stamps! (and stationery, mo more ecards or evites)
- Learn to plant food in addition to flowers
- Use iPhone to make phone calls
- Maybe buy a newspaper… maybe
- Use my cookbooks more (after I dust them off)
- Think of a new name/alias(es) for myself and start acting the part
…just to name a few.
Don’t use iPhonem use Fairphone with /e/OS or any dump phone, even an old Nokia which for sure still works, and only for calls.
Use the I2P network
