however i think, the internet i like is a hobbyist network. no ads, collection of many small servers.however i think, it's not possible to 'earn' money on the internet without ads, or without exploiting the current state, that most of the users aren't literate enough to communicate on the network (message, have a web presence, site, page, blog, rss feed) without using big corporate technologies.they don't know about the alternatives even and it is hard to explain the decentralized way of life. if we didn't have email, it would be even harder, at least today we can use the example of email. and still it is hard to perceive and understand for many people.#decentralization #internet

perhaps ssb - secure #scuttlebutt would be easy - no need to make so many choices.you don't need to choose a username and you don't need to choose a server. your key pair describes your identity.but you still need to choose a client software. you still need to connect to some pub/room servers, if you want to get updates over the network and communicate with people you don't see in person.but #ssb is so weird for people it is also hard to perceive. it is so much different that even jabber/activity pub feels much more natural.

also making choices are weird for them.they need to choose a server, then choose a username, then choose the client software, then login, then add some contacts.in case of email, they just have the default choice: gmail.if it was mail.com, or email.com, perhaps they wouldn't even understand that mail is a protocol, not a service.something like whatsapp will take the phone number as a username, will take the address book and generate a contact list (while knowing all the human connections) - so no choices and 'extra work' is necessary.whenever i register someone on some jabber network, they say 'it is so hard, it is for programmers'.
