Small Internet, Big Privacy: Cozy Alternatives to Big Tech

Description and use

<p><strong>The internet used to feel like a neighborhood potluck. Now it feels like a mall food court run by three landlords who track your crumbs.</strong></p> <p>We all remember when the internet was small. When you had a blog with a hit counter. When you knew all 87 people who followed you on Twitter and one of them was definitely your mom's second account. When an algorithm was just something your CS professor made you write on a whiteboard.</p> <p>Then we scaled. And scaled. And scaled until the cozy corner of the internet became a 4 billion-person panopticon with infinite scroll and targ
