What I read is just a thinly-veiled “Make shunning socially acceptable and mainstream again!”

how did you read that from the posted article?

My one-sentence summary is: "Stop accepting rude behavior from crawlers, AI agents, closed-source-browsers, and greedy mega-platforms or else they metastasize and ruin everything."

How don you draw the line for what is "evil"? What puts you intonposition to be arbitrer of truth and socially acceptsble norm. This is a very thin line and the article is too idealistic and can actually turn internet worse

I don't know if you've noticed the direction things have been moving, but what we've been doing isn't working.

What, “All is fair in love and war”? Tear down all laws in pursuit of the devil?

I prefer “That which can be destroyed by the truth, should be.”
