Twitter is falling apart. Reddit is falling apart. Facebook fell apart ages ago. Meta is a trashfire. Instagram is baloney. Google can't even search for anything you want anymore.

You know what website still miraculously works?

Wikipedia.

You should donate to keep it that way.

@tveastman -
It is beginning to look a lot like a conspiracy, isn't it? 😉

I think the sites where "we", ordinary users & subscribers, are still trusted and in control to generate content are still the most reliable.
The drive to monetize and control content is what will kill the Internet, I think.

@WiseWords @tveastman I am a lot more worried about the fall of net neutrality - that is the real killer. At the end of the day, it is pretty fair to ask for money to run computers - that takes energy! But as long as you are free to run your own computer, connect it to the internet, and get a publicly regulated DNS to direct traffic to it, anything is possible. If ISPs get to pick parts of the internet with winners and losers, it's over.

I live in the UK, we recently got fibre internet and I cannot direct traffic to my computer. They do not offer ipv6 at all and ipv4 is via cgnat by sharing one public address with several others.
If I want to run a server I need to rent one in a data centre or run an onion service in the tor network.
Accessing ipv6 websites is possible only via tor, vpn or proxy.
Ipv6 via tunnelbroker.net does not work.

@hambach18 @spark315 @WiseWords @tveastman sounds like it might be a good use case for CloudFlare tunnels https://www.cloudflare.com/en-ca/products/tunnel/
Tunnel | Zero Trust App Connector

Connect applications, servers, and other resources to Cloudflare's network via encrypted outbound tunnels. No publicly routable IPs or VMs required.
