So now that Chrome (Google) has redefined the web to serve ads instead of content and Mozilla happily follows suit, because, well, Google pays most of their bills, the W3C shrugging — what’s the next big thing?

So now that Chrome (Google) has redefined the web to serve ads instead of content and Mozilla happily follows suit, because, well, Google pays most of their bills, the W3C shrugging — what’s the next big thing? Can we evolve #ActivityPub to the #InternetOfPeople or will it also be eaten by ad money? #Goodnight and #GoodThoughts

(I don’t believe The Web can be saved. But The Web isn’t the internet. The internet will evolve. The big question is if it evolves for The People or towards money)

@jwildeboer If you are a website owner, you can work to help redefine the standards by just not adding nonsense to your website. What's wrong with going back to "Web 1.x" content? At least it was readable. Just like how every site didn't need Macromedia Flash content back when, not every site nowadays requires a heap of ads, trackers, and AI-generated nonsense.

That is amazing. Is there a copyleft or unlicence version somewhere I can not-steal for mine?
