The world’s richest men are concentrating control over the pipes through which all of this is running, all of our information.
I’m afraid we’re in/nearing the endgame of this tug of war, and we don’t control the physical infrastructure. Without an ISP that isn’t in bed with the government/corporatocracy, I’m not sure how we even keep freedom of speech alive long-term.
It’s far from a perfect solution at this point, but I’ve been quite curious about the reticulum mesh network recently. I was looking into it as a disaster resiliency thing, but LBR, is this not also a disaster of a form?
In a similar but different vein I feel the need to callout veilid. veilid.com It’s like tor meets IPFS except no crypto involved. The idea is it’s an anonymous network and data storage scheme that’s meant to allow developers to make apps which don’t require server infrastructure and associated costs. They want functional easy to use apps to have strong privacy protections baked in instead of bolted on after by powerusers.
Radio (and some bigass antennas i guess)
You don’t own the radio waves. The government will come after you if you run unlicensed antennas.
I just messaged them and asked them to invest in their platform and consider the Fediverse. Everyone should reach out to them support@newpress.com and let them know a great way to take the power back is to own your own content.
It would be amazing if they go that route.
Unfortunately I expect they will prioritise profits.
Still, we shouldn’t disgard imperfect allies.
It was stolen.
If Johnny Harris wants to help take the Internet back, why is he on YouTube and NOT on Nebula?
If you want to reach people, you need to be where the people are.
For now it’s YouTube and reddit etc. We’ve seen PieFed users spike by making posts on reddit.
Sometimes you got to use the platforms you’re competing with the grow something new
Because this question is the first time I"ve ever heard about Nebula

Glad this was posted here because I thought his script sounded really AI generated (or at least super PR speak). The below quotes really stood out as jarring having heard and read through a lot of AI slop, but the overwhelming praise given throughout the script to the concepts of youtubers and their viewers and finally his new product all also gave me that weird AI deja vu.
I generally enjoy Harris’ content (the bunker video is something I actually sent to a friend and had a whole conversation about - incredible video), so I’m really not trying to be a hater. What I’m actually hating is that picking up on stray deja vu is sometimes the only real way you can know something is AI anymore, and because it’s such a vague reference point I come away with an uneasy feeling about sources like Harris that I would otherwise have been comfortable to treat as trustworthy.
