a life with no social media and phone, having more DIY, Punk, hacking style and stuff, how is that possible in current years? my ideas are having so low or no use of social media, using Linux or BSDS, having a custom rom at phone (or dumphone) and using alternative sites like image boards, IRC, old/niche forums, going to punk gigs and raves, learn music instrument, learn about cybersec, download music and movies, piracy in general, dress alt, make a personal webpage, using less javascript and using alternative’s to crapitalism.
placeholder/reminder comment for an inevitable effortpost later.
I have lived like this on and off for large sections of my life.
It is a “goal” of sorts of me and another cypherpunk to lean heavily back into this in the coming year(s,) we’re fucking sick of the web but the internet is OUR home turf. these corpos are taking our third spaces and we will have to create new ones.
like the other poster said it’s because we chose convenience and slowly (in our cases) ceded ground because other life stuff felt more important. It feels now like I didn’t realise the war of attrition I was fighting at the time, so i lost.
sorry for the scrambled and not very useful words. I’ll think on this and try to bring some energy and thought to this topic later when my meat is rested and my mind has finished defragging.
