The Internet is at a tipping point, here’s what you’ve probably never heard coming next.

Time for a thread 👇👇👇

1) Let’s start with the users…

Today over 50% of the world is on social media AND on average we each have 70-80 usernames and passwords.

Each of these accounts are owned and controlled by the platforms.

Recipe for disaster.
2) In 2021 American adults spend over 4 hours a day online - that is half a work day.

Time is our most valuable asset, did you realize you are giving this away for free?
3) The applications we use today are built on the foundation of ‘Free + Ads’.

You get free access.

They get YOUR account, YOUR data, YOUR screen time, YOUR community.

And the worst part? This can all be taken away at any moment.
4) So where do we go from here?

It starts with self-sovereign digital identities.

ONLY the user owns their identity data online without intervention from outside parties.

Available now at sites like: https://t.co/x5EMfrWBBd
5) After securing your own identity online you’ll want to communicate.

However, the internet has become siloed - Few control the many.

This centralized control will boil over and expedite a migration to peer-to-peer networks.

Here’s how they work…
6) Autonomous P2P networks (https://t.co/j2rdtmtA54) are free to use.

Fully decentralized, serverless, and equipped with end-to-end encryption that is randomly routed through the network.

No server to store your data - all stored locally.

Remember Napster and LimeWire?
7) We’ve seen the immediate need for such communication channels already in 2021.

#WhatsApp migration to @signalapp

Throughout the year more competition will emerge in this space (see @hypermessenger), with their own unique features.

And this is good for us all.
8) As news continues to break you might find your way to the doorstep of #Web3, but can these decentralized platforms really compete?

They can - and they will.

We all know the dinosaur #LinkedIn right? Keep an eye on @tryProfile to see exactly what I mean.
9) This information might be new to you, but projects such as @ElastosInfo are on their 4th year of development and offer open software for developers today.

The migration to an open decentralized internet is happening before our eyes.

Or, you could let us know when you figure out why it was trending yesterday and the users are complaining which is why Vice wrote about it. Why I'm saying what I am.

There's an assumption here that this problem is fixed bc it was already hacked.

It's not.


We have ppl freezing and dying in TX right now because some ppl who thought they were really smart never spoke to anyone with actual experience with energy systems in extreme cold climates.

Texans are waiting for a solution to a preventable problem.

Farmers are saying that now, not during a crisis, they have to wait for a JD tech to arrive to help them.

The assumption that bc SOME farmers said screw this and used hacked firmware to get around that obstacle doesn't mean that all farmers are doing that.

If all farmers were using hacked firmware we wouldn't be discussing this right now would we?

Of course no one has pointed out that another issue here is that no one at John Deere has figured out they don't have enough staff to quickly and reliably SOLVE problems.

The locked firmware is just one of many issues here.

By not giving people a fast solution they're causing this and other issues.

So what I'm saying is somebody at John Deere needs to examine all of this.
