Let’s take back the web all over again. “And now we can take it back. Whether it’s using ActivityPub/Mastodon, or Bluesky/ATProtocol (or others like nostr or Farcaster), we’re starting to see users building out an alternative vision that isn’t just mediated by single companies with Wall Street demands pushing them to enshittify. “ Great read by @mmasnick@mmasnick@mastodon.social https://www.techdirt.com/2024/05/21/decentralized-systems-will-be-necessary-to-stop-google-from-putting-the-web-into-managed-decline/
"Last week at Google IO, Google made it clear that they’re moving forward with what it calls 'AI overviews,' in which Google’s own Gemini AI tech will try to generate answers at the top of search pages": Decentralized Systems Will Be Necessary To Stop Google From Putting The Web Into Managed Decline https://www.techdirt.com/2024/05/21/decentralized-systems-will-be-necessary-to-stop-google-from-putting-the-web-into-managed-decline/
@mmasnick sees Mastodon, Bluesky, and the rest of the open social web as an antidote to the AI-generated decline of the internet:
"decentralized social media could offer an alternative to the world in which all the information we consume is intermediated by a single centralized player, whether it’s a search engine like Google, or a social media service like Meta [...] one in which you get to build the experience you want, rather than the one a giant company wants."
