Age Verification Is Coming for the Whole Internet

See you guys in I2P.
Or ZeroNet

And as soon as that happens, I'm out. I'd rather just opt out of the modern internet. I already have to deal with my information getting leaked from various different services at least once every couple years it seems. I can change a credit card or a password, I can't change my ID.
I'm literally going around trying out old school forum sites this week.

Glad I got a decent Xbox 360 collection.

oh no, the world will find out I'm 50. oh the shame, oh the horror.
50 and this naive?

Tor, and mesh networks. Every article brings me closer to going hard just for the lulz.
Ok, do any good mesh networks exist today that people actually use? I'd love to invest in some hardware and join some form of this.

Article is paywalled.
You must provide your age and DNA sample too

Let us know what you find. I'm ready to go back to the 90s/early 2000s internet. Golden era of the internet.

Sneakernet is gonna be back with a vengeance
Among us nerds, I'm sure.

We'll build our own Internet.

Car forums are still alive and well because they're a great repository of knowledge. There
are plenty of computing forums too still. -
It’s about the information vacuum. Now every service will get your ID or photo, giving them both age and a whole sort of other metrics to build a profile on you. And yes, Lemmy.ca doesn’t know that about me.

Plot twist: they're 17 and covering their tracks

We're heading back to the dreams of the 90s with people running websites on non-standard ports and DNS (new rinky dink decentralized DNS?). Take a performance and usability hit for the return of a more decentralized Internet. Probably still more usable than the early internet with all the lessons learned and tools available to modern developers. We can also bring back the term: web master
There are already far more people in raw numbers on various federated/non-commercial/self-hosted/indie web stuff than there ever were on the early web- it just takes a little effort to find it.

Isn't that how it started

I am already browsing the "old way", since the mess with reddit...
I found out there is a forum for everything. It's not centralized in one website, but it's not that different than browsing /r/whatever you know.
More often than not, the discussions are more intelligent and on point too.
For my doom-scrolling needs, Lemmy does the job.

Sure but it would be trivial for a company to build profiles on people using public apps like Lemmy.

Google already changed logged out YouTube to a single row of recommendations and a button to login on roku and Android shield when it used to look like the logged in version just a couple weeks ago. Probably the kick I needed to get off, mostly just using it for a couple smaller call-in/debate streamers I can switch to a podcast or other version.

But not necessarily link it to your other accounts or real identity, which is the point.
