Anytime that you click on your browser reader mode you are implicitly admitting, and confirming, that #smolweb and #Gemini are the right way to read internet pages... 🤭
One thing I miss from the golden age of #Facebook, when pretty much everyone was on it and kept their #profile up to date, was that it was easy to find how to message someone. When I wanted to contact someone who I hadn't talk to in a while, I just used Facebook. I didn't had to worry that I had a wrong or outdated email address. I could see their profile to make sure it's the right person, and that they had been active recently so my message wouldn't get lost in the void. It was reassuring.
And because it would be an open protocol, you could decide who you trust with your personal data. Sure, you could use #Facebook or #Google, but there would be plenty of independent hosts, just like there are thousands of email providers and phone companies!
Or you could #SelfHost it on your own personal website/server if you have one. I can imagine extensions for Wordpress, Squarespace, Linktrees or wherever people host their website these days.
