I know this is the most ridiculous idea, but we need to pack our bags and make a new internet protocol, to separate us from the rest, at least for a while. Either way, most “modern” internet things (looking at you, JavaScript) are not modern at all, and starting over might help more than any of us could imagine.

Like Gemini?

From official Website:

Gemini is a new internet technology supporting an electronic library of interconnected text documents. That's not a new idea, but it's not old fashioned either. It's timeless, and deserves tools which treat it as a first class concept, not a vestigial corner case. Gemini isn't about innovation or disruption, it's about providing some respite for those who feel the internet has been disrupted enough already. We're not out to change the world or destroy other technologies. We are out to build a lightweight online space where documents are just documents, in the interests of every reader's privacy, attention and bandwidth.

Yep! That was exactly the protocol on my mind. One thing, though, is that the Fediverse would need to be ported to Gemini, or at least for a new protocol to be created for Gemini.

If it becomes popular enough that it's used by a lot of people then the bots will move over there too.

They are after data, so they will go where it is.

One of the reasons that all of the bots are suddenly interested in this site is that everyone's moving away from GitHub, suddenly there's lots of appealing tasty data for them to gobble up.

This is how you get bots, Lana

Yes, I know. But, while trying to find a way to bomb the AI datacenters (/s, hopefully it doesn't come to this), we can stall their attacks.

It shouldn't be too hard, and considering private key authentication, you could even use a single sign-in for multiple platforms/accounts, and use the public key as an identifier to link them across platforms. I know there's already a couple proof-of-concept Gemini forums/BBSs out there already. Maybe they just need a popularity boost?
