       Many yearn for the "good old days" of the web. We could have those good old days back — or something even better — and if anything, it would be easier now than it ever was.https://www.citationneeded.news/we-can-have-a-different-web/#web #newsletter #CitationNeeded

       @molly0xfff Excellent article, thank you for writing it, Molly.Although I do wish I didn’t feel like we didn’t exist while reading it.This is the Small Web—what Laura & I have been specifically working to realise for the past six years at least (if not closer to a decade if you count our work on the problem before settling on one possible solution):https://ar.al/2020/08/07/what-is-the-small-web/We do this as a self-funded (read; struggling) tiny not-for-profit (https://small-tech.org).#SmallWeb

       @aral @molly0xfff I’m not remotely interested in the web past compared to what we can make with today’s web standards.I have faith that community can help us bypass the AI rubble.

       @ollicle The two are not mutually exclusive. With today’s web standards Google and Facebook and every other surveillance capitalist out there is helping build a global corporate panopticon. Entirely standards compliant (it helps that they’re the ones writing the standards).Web standards are great but they do not imply any ethical framework to what is produced.So I’m more interested in how we learn from the past to go forward differently and create a fairer and kinder world.
