alt Hacker NewsThe internet is not supposed to work like this. The network was designed for robustness and fault tolerance, which allows it to reroute data if parts of the network fail.
Why are we all depending on one entity for it all to work? Makes me mad.

Most of the internet continued to work just fine
Because by re-centralizing everything you're not at a competitive disadvantage if you're down since everyone else is down, too.
Oh boy, the internet is anything but what it was supposed to be. I can't really bring myself to remember without feeling bad about it. The centralization, the power of certain businesses, the surveillance, dark patterns everywhere. Hell, you catch people simping for billionaires and asking, "Is that legal?" to scraping posts. Here. In HACKER news. So yeah. Depressing.
Because more fasterer and more cheaperer.
I hope Reticulum gains traction.
