As age-verification bullshit becomes more common, I am determined to simply not participate in any service or video game that requires it. The day I see the prompt, is the day I leave.

Maybe the government’s hope is that I stop participating in society, but I assure you that I will not. I’ll find or build alternatives, and refuse to comply with bad law.

I hope you will, too.

And as a silver lining, maybe the weird internet we end up creating as a result will suck less than the current one.

@Haste I feel like mesh networking (Reticulum, MeshCore, Meshtastic, LoRa, HaLow, etc.) is going to provide us with the replacement of the Internet in the long run. Since it has no infrastructure requirements beyond electricity, corporations can be easily locked out. :3

@tk it’s funny you mention that, I was recently taught how to build a radio to join a mesh network, and will be contributing as soon as I can source the parts.

Hopefully I don’t electrocute myself, I’m not exactly an engineer. lol
