One of the key problems I find today is that of
separating bots from humans. If we fail to do so, bots
can be innumerable speaking from a vast IPv6 space. All
attempts to correct such attack will fail!
Once we take a whitelisting approach, that of fixing IPv6
addresses and moving forward with decentralized servers
with people hosting themselves, progress will be made.
Yea, the Dead Internet Theory. I don't think I really care
that much though. Like, yea, this kinda sucks that nowadays
every time you see a comment or a review you have to second
guess if it's actually made by a real person, but while
there are places like this I can live with that. There
always should be an option for people who do care.
Regular people hosting themselves will never be achievable.
It's not even about if it is hard to do. People can't spend
even a fraction of there time on their own privacy. And
these days it's dead simple to have a password manager and
an ad block. That's the bare minimum and most people still
struggle. No matter how easy you'll make it to have your own
server most people still won't have it simple because they
also don't have a need for it.
I can't imagine a regular Joe (no offense to anyone with
that name here) to setup a VPS, host his own website or do
literally anything else that would make him distinguishable
from bots.
