- Social media initially promised connection but has become a noisy, needy mental health hazard.
- StreetPass for Mastodon is a browser extension that quietly collects Mastodon profiles from visited websites, exemplifying calm technology.
- Blog Quest is a browser extension that discovers and collects RSS and Atom feeds in the background, integrating with feed readers for easy subscription.
- The independent web thrives on human connection and creation, resistant to the degradation seen in engagement-driven platforms.
- Using tools like StreetPass and Blog Quest can help users discover a decentralized, independent Internet without the mental hazards of traditional social media.
