I mean almost the opposite of that. I mean that clearly we need to teach people how to engage with the internet in a sovereign way or else they are going to just eventually be captured again by opportunistic capitalists.

You keep saying "the developers" or implying that someone ELSE out there should be responsible for making this easier, which is the part I find baffling.

People are currently out there doing that, it's getting better every day because people are building new solutions.

If you want something to change for the better within this ecosystem then it YOU that needs to do it, or at least you are certainly empowered to do it.

You passively waiting for SOMEONE ELSE to make a solution for you is the problem. If that someone else is a hobbyist who builds foss software for fun, the risks are pretty low and the chances of you reverse engineering and understanding of what's going on are pretty high.

If you are waiting for a polished radio button to click that unfolds the second internet cleanly in front of you, I would argue you are basically waiting for a corporate solution where someone is going to want compensation from you for your efforts. Which is also TOTALLY FINE.

the issue is, when those corporate solutions grow and become less transparent and more necessary for the average user, that's how we get the CURRENT internet.
