Everone talks about #decentralization. This actually looks like a viable solution that has been building up for years. I've been selling coffee on #Qortal.
The internet has changed considerably over the last decade!
It seems that every year, we give up a little more privacy, a little more ownership, and a little more control in exchange for convenience online.
With Chat Control advancing in Europe, and Android restricting app sharing even further, it feels like those changes are accelerating.
Inspired by Pavel @durov's contest on Telegram, I spent the past few weeks producing a short documentary exploring how we got here, why it matters, and what can actually be done about it.
During that journey, I also share why I've spent the last four years helping build @Qortal, a peer-to-peer network that offers a fundamentally different approach to the internet.
Whether you agree with my conclusions or not, I hope the documentary makes you look at today's internet from a different perspective.
If you found it thought-provoking, I'd really appreciate a like, repost, and any feedback you have.

I would urge everyone with basic compuer user skills to install & run a Qortal node. I've been doing it for about 4 years already and it doesn't take much of my time. I'm not a developer so can't help with that, but if everybody just ran their own node, we'd have a new internet.
@nicoizad@wolfpackny631 I'm intrigued. What was it? The original post you replied to was taken down. You could send me the name or link to this handle on Qortal, if you like.
This National Gun Violence
Awareness Day let's remember the victims of police shootings.
In terms of raw numbers and yearly totals, you're more likely to be murdered by a cop or fed in America than a mass shooter.
And these are the people who want to disarm us. Resist that.
