What happened to reddit will probably happen on a much larger scale to the entire internet. First the enshittification destroys everything and then a new thing will emerge that much more resembles the old internet. Google’s Web Environment Integrity could be the last nail in the coffin and speed up the change significantly.
The web is not the internet.
If Google does that, the people who cares will migrate to something else.
Example: the fediverse.
The fediverse runs on the web, though.
But not exclusively. That’s why there are apps for it.
If the API is HTTP based, then it would be a matter of implementing another non-web-based protocol.
Edit: I’m not saying I would get rid of HTTP. I like RESTful services where they make sense. I’m just emphasizing that the fediverse doesn’t have to depend on one single protocol.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with HTTP. Abandoning it would be like eliminating German because it was the language the Nazis used.
Fair point.
And you win today’s Godwin Award!
Who did I compare to a Nazi?
Lol
