    This is a very stupid rant and I already know people will downvote me(it has happened before)

    The internet is no long just a network of computers. It has at least 2 centralized points

    • icaan controls names and numbers. That includes DNS and IP addresses. When the Ukraine Russia war started they were asked to disconnect Russia from the internet by rejecting their IPS. They said no, but COULD have yes. Also, companies like google and amazon can get their own TLD (.aws and .ggl) you you and I can’t because we are not buddies with them
    • certificate authorities: there is a fucking huge list of companies that are allowed to sign certificates. No, you can’t just get on that list, you have to ask permission and be audited. If ONE of them fucks up, there are serious consequences for EVERYBODY (yes, I know certificate pinning is a thing, but still)

    Edit: oh. Also email. Want to host your own email? Good luck, everything is marked as spam, and you can’t do it on a home connection because the port is blocked

    Such a high horse for such a tiny person.

    1. On simplex you can “start chatting” asynchronously
    2. You didn’t say “start chatting”. You said “start sending messages” which is something you do with people every day
    3. “Start chatting” and “continue chatting” do not mean what you imply the mean. There is no distinction between them as “the absolute first time” and “all the others”. I can start talking again with a friend I haven’t talked to in months. I can also start talking about a previous topi (" me and my girlfriend started talking once again about having children")

    So… You know… Maybe get off the horse? It’s not that everyone around you is an idiot is that you failed to communicate… Or you are an idiot
