Tor (with bridges enabled) intensifies

If you need your id to access internet: not use it anymore, selfhosting go brrr

If you need your id for all content-sharing websites like social media or microblogging: return back to good ol webrings and static websites. Can't kill the web on its core principles. No algorithms, pure passion and creativity.

Dark web

Save £24 a month more than I do now

I'll avoid the ID demanding sites. Feels similar to how I never got into iPods because I didn't like iTunes, mp3 players still happened.

I lived great before the Internet, I'll live just as great after it's gone.

Stop using any sites that require ID.

TORTORTOR!!!

Touch Grass maybe

Go Luddite

I've gone long years without using any social media associated to my identity, as many others do, and i'll eat my cooked shirt if I start thinking, "hey sure why not let me into this shitty internet".

I'll be fine without using the internet if it comes down to it, at that point it'd be a liability. Dinosaurs think they can control the internet which is a hilarious proposition in the first place.

Stop using any sites that require ID.

Ditto. Also:

• Try to use Memoji to make fake ID
• Go to the mall =O
• Go to the library
• Go to the brick and mortar places I used to visit before getting everything online (eg. bank, fam owned businesses)
• Talk to people instead of AI (going to practice that this weekend)
• Go for a walk outside instead of updating the firmware on treadmill
• Buy stamps! (and stationery, no more ecards or evites)
• Learn to plant food in addition to flowers
• Use iPhone to make phone calls
• Maybe buy a newspaper… maybe
• Use my cookbooks more (after I dust them off)
• Think of a new name/alias(es) for myself and start acting the part

…just to name a few.

the internet won't ask shit, specific websites will, which can and should be avoided

Burn the grass

Hope that this will completely kill the corporate Internet and switch to exclusively using FOSS federated or decentralized services for everything.

Self host even more.. Use Gemini even more

I'll continue to not ask for ID and run my own services open to anyone and everyone.

Pixel phone running Calyx, VPN, physical maps, second name, second phone number, leaving most platforms, trying to take my people with me

The commercial web that I use that might require ID would be for payment processing etc. My bank knows how old I am. I can and will pay bills directly through my bank instead of using their portal. Or they can explain to me in writing why they don't want to take my payment. Just about everything else is optional.

I'll start by disabling Javascript and see how far that gets me

Will make own services and tell f*ck-off to those who will request ID :P

Continue to not give it, what do you mean?

We should really start concentrating more on decentralization.

Take Freifunk as example and similar projects.

What we need is a user-run private alternative to the internet. Wireless mesh networks are a very interesting step in that direction.

As long the infrastructure is owned by the government and companies, we will never be really free.

I will leave the internet and seek alternatives.

P2P more?

I don't use any "big brother" services. At work, it's a different story, I guess.

I wish that the internet was removed from every day reality. Or at least I wish it wasn't so invasive and obligatory.

Not much changes. This will affect the commercial web, but I consider that the commercial web’s polish to be not really worth the privacy invasion before this. All the small web/fediverse/indie web/open source/Free/gemini/gopher/irc/ whatever alternative stuff is plenty to keep me happy, despite always being clunkier. It’s good enough.

As of now I only visit a handful of privacy respecting sites on a regular basis. For all others I use web archive links rather than actually visiting the site.

I guess I'll start pirating things like local news, weather forecasts, and garbage pickup schedules.

In the meantime, I'll continue to self-host what I can, de-couple from online services, and find alternatives to get information from.

Pretend it's 1995 before I had Internet access

I've been planing on going outside, this might just be the kick I need

As online spaces start to demand I dox myself, I will remove myself from those online spaces (see: Reddit). If that means I ultimately leave the internet as a whole, then so be it.

get a fake ID
