@cremieuxrecueil With that being said though, annoying missionaries is not the most cited gripe you see online. It's usually something dumb about their beliefs like "magic underwear" or multiple wives or becoming god of your own planet in the afterlife (honestly based)

"closure of the Internet occurred in two distinct phases: 2015-2019 and 2020-2022. Almost all of the technical & organizational infrastructure and conceptual justifications were built out in the first phase, which successfully decapitated & destroyed the previously-independent, but by definition fringe, online ecosystem of ideas.
