I'll just say though, the client is kind of rough and may be missing a lot of features you're used to.

Why is that wrong? He also has an insane amount of free content on YouTube.

How so, isn't this just another AI search engine? How is that like old school Google in any way? It's like, literally the complete opposite lol.

That's some rose tinted glasses, and misunderstands why we don't do that anymore, despite being perfectly able to.

Those obscure websites you were referring to had a high barrier to entry, they required the person to know how to host and code some basic HTML. Sure, it had more personality, but that barrier meant there was far less people who could do that. So then platforms like geocities came out, where instead you now needed just an account and to fill out some forms to create your own little site, you didn't even have to host anymore! That was the beginning of web2. Those people who now were creating pages on geocities didn't have a voice before, they could have posted their own websites but simply did not have the means to, nor should they be required to just so they can post online.

Well, now we're on geocities on crack, which the websites we post our content on have gotten much more advance, to the point that we are now. Those big internet monoliths exist because of web2, because people didn't want to handle their own self hosting stack just to post some stuff to the internet, so no wonder we've reached this point. People then gravitated to the best places to post their content, and to explore other's content. Because that's essentially what the internet is, exploring other's content.

Every owner thinks their dog is a "good one" until it's too late. They should be required to be neutered and not allowed to breed.

He's also given me a lot of topics that taught me how to actually recognize issues that I had, and to bring that to my personal therapist to talk about. They really work well together!

I own a custom domain and actually use Tutanota as my host. Self hosting is a nightmare and easy to fuck up, which leads to your emails getting sent to spam or just not receiving. I use custom domain support in Tutanota that costs me $12/yr (2 custom domains) and my domain is $15/yr. Since custom domains stick out like a sore thumb, if I need privacy then I will use AnonAddy to forward to my email with an anonymous forwarder.

Like 99.9% of my emails aren't encrypted but that's not the point. Tutanota removes a lot of the privacy leaks via metadata and has privacy protection measures by default like disabling images from automatically loading. Also it's calendar/contacts/email all rolled into one and everything is e2ee. Not to mention, unlike ProtonMail, they have their own push service that works on DeGoogled Android and can be installed from fdroid.

Elaborate

If there is no ActivityPub integration, may as well kill the project right there.

I think the proper word here is "liberated"

I think the best way to go is to use the everything feed for discovery and to find new communities, then spend most of your time in subscriptions
