@charliebrownau @PhenomX6 @ThighHighSock The internet was such a better place when you had to have a functioning brain in order to even use it.
So yea, this barrier of entry, whether real or not, is really the bullet proof way of gatekeeping idiots out.

I sometimes get told "if you want people to use the darknet, XMPP, and all that, you'll need to make a satanphone crapp to make it as easy for them as clicking only 1 button.".
I always reply, "why the fuck should I even make it easy for them to destroy the last good bits of technology!?".

No seriously, it's exactly because the internet has become easier to use (ironically, I actually find modern websoytes harder to use than the old websites) that caused us to have massive amounts of censorship and growing, fucking idiots destroying everything the brightest have created, and everything on one hand, and the tradcucks stopping us from fixing the problem before it's too late by saying "YOU'LL BE JUST AS BAD AS THEM!!" which are part of the problem on the other hand.

So yea, fuck all of them, let's keep the remaining few based technologies to just the nerds, and finally teach fellow nerds how to gatekeep and how to NOT make things easier to use (to automate the gatekeeping).
