HTTP2 cements everything that’s wrong with the centralised web at the protocol level (guess who wrote it… hint, begins with Go and ends with ogle. When forking the centralised web to create the peer web, I think we’ll be forking from HTTP 1.1.

I'm not really informed about HTTP2 but I attended to a short talk about it and it looked pretty reasonable. -
Jacky Alciné (jalcine@playvicious.social)'s status on Wednesday, 06-Mar-2019 14:10:33 CET Jacky Alciné @aral Yeah, they contributed to it. But this reads a bit blanket of a statement. Also a lot of sites use HTTP/2 transparently with fallback to HTTP/1.1. It's definitely faster and more friendly on resource constraint devices (in terms of network, the crypto overhead still makes it a net win).
Ekaitz Zárraga 👹 repeated this.
