Protocols not platforms are the future.

Sadly look at email. Technically you can host it yourself but if you're not one of the 15 or so big providers, good luck not being marked as spam before you even do anything.
The real problem is with the oligarchy controlling everything, service or protocol. This is why Threads was/is dangerous.

And they’ve been systematically shutting down anonymous email services.
Load up Brave with a tor connection, and try to sign up for anonymous email. When they can’t track you reliably, even the “anonymous” services require a confirmation email or phone number.

Man I don't want a future where we doxx ourselves to just be on a PC. Its insane that parents think real ID for gaming is a good idea. Linux might be the only way to escape any of this in the near future.

They pretend it’s to protect us from illegal activity, but it’s really to protect them from whistleblowers.

That's not entirely true. The push for KYC came because spam started going crazy. You have no clue how bad spam is right now. And believe me, you don't know. Take the worst case scenario you can think of, and multiply that by 100, and that starts to describe the state of spam emails for the past decade.

Did they suddenly put a stop to email spam, and no one told me? My spam folder says otherwise, but I can confirm the hit to privacy.
Maybe combating spam was just the excuse?

If you get 100 spam emails a day, then without those protections that have been put into place that number would be in the 100s of thousands at best.

A few years ago I switched the mail provider for the company I work for from a small MSP provider over to Google Workspace. The reason is my boss' inbox had an average of 5k+ of spam daily. He even had to abandon one of his email addresses at one point. After switching over to Google that number went to a more manageable few dozen daily.
It's absolutely a massive problem.
