1) I want full control over my servers and to not be penalized in search engines for not hosting my sites on Google. Where are the server-side logs?

2) I want full control over how I publish my sites with real web standards. AMP is not a web standard, it's a Google format that they are strong-arming people into using.

3) Mozilla considers Signed HTTP Exchanges harmful. This technology is as bad as what Microsoft was doing with IE in the old days.

4) I don't publish on Github pages, but if I did, I would still have a choice over which servers I put the sites on.

5) There shouldn't be a single company (or few companies) that dictates how we publish online.

6) Shame on the people who are splitting the web with this fake-opensource technology. There's even a Google engineer over here referring to the Web like it's a Google product. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19631136




As per point 6, I wouldn’t take what was said there as a statement from Google, or potentially even an employee of Google. They did it as a throwaway .. anybody wishing to kick the hornets nest could have posted that, employee or not.


It's not written like someone trying to kick a hornet's nest. It's written like someone who has been conditioned inside of a culture that has begun to view the Web as a Google product on some level.


And if somebody was wanting to kick a hornets nest, that’s exactly how you’d want to write it :).

My point is, you cannot just blindly trust anonymous comments to be who they say they are, it’s an easy way to get yourself in trouble.


But if the comment was, say, digitally signed, on the other hand... ;)
