Perhaps it sounds cynical, but can't we just let things burn instead of spending all this time and energy attempting to put out the eternal dumpster fire that is the 2020s web-scape? Perhaps it isn't possible.

Instead, maybe we build the replacements that we want, invite those who want a piece, sure, even put up a few signs pointing the way; but for the rest, you really can't save those who aren't looking for salvation, so let them have their technological dystopia if they can't see it for what it is.



Sure, there's systems for that, such as Gemini. If you don't want to use the modern web alongside the rest of society, it's fairly easy to just... not.
