I am there already. I try to self host and my only subscription is a vpn. I of course have to lookup stuff from time to time but its so bad nowadays. The results are garbage or the algorithm feeds you far right nonsense because you accidentally clicked a video on the youtube homepage.
Then every second site wants you to do a captcha or make an account just to read an article… Get the fuck outta here with your account., instantly close the tab.
Then we have the abysmal data mining and constant breaches because these fucks dont want to pay for proper security but ok its because their pages says they use “military grade encryption” which is usually just TLS.
This is my only social media account. Specifically because it is non commercial.
