Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook hearing was a sham

I operate my own mail server. To send and receive email, I use the imap and smtp protocols. No need for the web there, unlike Gmail captives.

There was this thing called "newsgroups", some day before my time. Wasn't the web.

IRC is still a thing. So is XMPP. Isn't the web.

I'm not sure what you mean by "internet without people". There are plenty of people outside of HTTP.

I use Gmail over IMAP and SMTP, only logging in through the web to change server-side mail filtering rules.

But yes, as much as I love the web, it's funny how people forget (or never realized) there are other protocols.
