     @aral Geez aral. Obviously, I've read you, but I had no idea what a good speaker you are. Damn! :-) tbh, I usually scrub through 20min talks like that quite quickly w/o watching the entire thing.
     Yes, I've moved down the page and I'm considering another...

     By the way, the image in that blog post? I cobbled it together using a free and open web-based alternative to Sketch called Penpot.

     @flugennock Not exactly, no. We can’t go backwards but we can go forwards in a better direction.

     This is what I mean by Small Web: https://ar.al/2020/08/07/what-is-the-small-web/

     Also see: https://web0.small-web.org ;)

     @aral Actually, platforming fascists — real, actual sieg-heiling Nazis — is a very good reason to hate Facebook.

     Their being in bed with the #AtlanticCouncil is also a good reason, related to the platforming-fascists reason.

     @aral ...and by "small Web", I take it you mean the original Web — before corporations like #Facebook #Twitter #YouTube #Instagram created centralized "choke points" for news/content — the original, decentralized, thousand-flowers-blooming WWW.

     Remember "mirroring"?
