Europe almost reached modern technology 2K years ago during the Roman empire/Republic. Europe by the 1700s was centuries ahead of everywhere else, next closest being China. In the current age Europe would still be leading unless the whole world happened to copy the Industrial Revolution if the word got out

It was terrible for the people of the time, but our modern world wouldn't be what it was if the Industrial Revolution stayed in Europe

When I get the care to do it, its nice having a neat room.

Can I log in with my Lemmy.world account

Yes because 4.5B people watched the last world cup, think about how much money billions of eyes on an extra 32 games would generate.

They'd optimize money if they did the 8 group format instead of this garbage format they're using.

They are objectively the best connectors both in unitality and availability.

free in the monetary sense.

No because if you are willing to go through the hassle to get around it then thats fine, until it becomes a big enough issue, I use adblocker, I am simply saying, use my Data so I don't pay with money that I and the majority of people can't afford

I have faith in the states/city I live in lol. Maryland/DC will ban the practice, probably the while North east VA upwards, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, West coast, Colorado, and New Mexico would stop this, the feds MIGHT but probably not.

States will ban the practice quickly if companies start price discriminating, the only reason insurance companies have gotten away with it is because they have justified reasons if they started using precision with our data it would be quickly outlawed.

The internet has only been allowed to be a free market because we agreed to be the product. Imagine a world where Google isn't free, where you are charged per usage like the old phone plans that cost money per amount of letters typed.

Good on you.

I'm not pro coporate I'm pro free internet, if I can connect to it I can use it free.

The cost to run a server is between $0.50 to $2.00 per month depending on how complex it is. So Imagine you had to pay $2.50-$3.00 per website in a patchwork of subscription based sites.

Every .com or .net site that wasn't selling a product would now require that fee, .gov .edu and .org would likely still be free.

I don't care about my data because I get to use a free internet with at least ads that are relevant to me and adblocker works relatively well

When is the last time ads on a website were completely random and not at least relevant to you?

donation and volunteer based (Wikipedia does this quite successfully) funded from tax income (as are online government services, crown corporations etc.)

Fair point, Wiki is an outlier in that regaurd and also .org not a .com/.net

I'd count taxes as subscription albeit you don't get a choice

companies that sell something thru the internet l, and website is an advertising or pm selling platform. This accounts for most sites, tbh, from brands to retailers, to marketplaces like Amazon, Etsy, and Craigslist.

I should have specified non commercial sites.

You mean before they start showing ads? That's going to happen eventually.

People are using their own money to run these servers its a net loss for them.

It's something everyone strives for, but after its like okay cool now onto actual life goals.

It could have several even as many as 100 different people with part of the key to access the center point for the passports so that any decisions would have to be unanimous and would keep things purely being monitored for technological updates.

Ideally on a platform similar to Gmail in its decentralized nature but connected to the fediverse and accessable through the main fediverse website as well.

We could allow for duplicate username with a unique 10 digit code identifier allowing you to adjust your privacy settings for each platform.

No. There is no particular reason why there needs to be one (say) twitter alternative.

Having multiple versons of the same type of platform artificially divides the Fediverse and makes it more likely that they'll split along ideological lines

Heck, there is not even a reason why there should be a alternative. Fediverse is allowed to be their own things.

While it would be awesome if we could figureout unique formats of social media, everything has basically been done, Myspace, Facebook and Linkton are the format of keep up with your friends.

Twitter and BlueSky are the basic format for literally "see whats trending"

Reddit and Lemmy are the basic format of Curated Community Content.

Youtube is the basic video sharing platform.

Tiktok algorithmic video sharing and platform which actually improves on youtube.

It would be really hard to fine a way to make a truly unique social media site but would be awesome
