Instagram started the trend with their hideous \"log in or else\" flow. Then Twitter and reddit went to insanely privacy-hostile API changes instead of simply requiring a proof of work or anon payment. Even some major nostr relays seem to be doing Tor blocking now (damus? Not sure, but I get a ton of errors connecting to certain relays via Tor.) \n\nPlatforms have become so fearful of bots/spam/scraping (or rather pretend to be fearful, so as to justify blatantly commercial and anti-social decision-making) that they've totally destroyed the open access model that a functioning freenet depends on. \n\nThis is the main reason I want to see \"unowned\" protocols succeed. Jack has it right: we're at a turning point.\n\nnostr:nevent1qqsd0vg2qvd63qsrlravfujy5ret8pzeke59hxlwhzx4v0n0r0paa3qpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejsyg8h9rv7decysdvwwzfs7h9xfvyhwuxe38xds6z5lescak5u3gupqcpsgqqqqqqs9pjua5"}
