Time for an alternative? Let the bots have the current Internet, we get a new, better, and more secure one.
Yep, different protocols is it. Gopher, Gemini protocol etc. Start reading up!
How would bots be kept out of it?
We could have a file, like robots.txt, that tell them they aren't allowed. They would respect it, surely.
Funny how the internet went to shit when protocols were thrown out of the window and companies instead used their financial weight to 'solve' everything.
That's a good question for which I have no good answer. It's clearly something that would have to be dealt with.
