Being a luddite isn't about going backwards, it's about refusing to support technologies that work against your interests.

Being a luddite is not about withholding support, it is about completely denying the existence of new technologies, or even actively trying to destroy them.
A return to the state of web 1.0 would definitely be a major move backwards, similar to banning the use of cars to prevent traffic accidents from happening. Wouldn't it be better to just learn how to drive?

The Luddites were a group of people who destroyed machinery that threatened their livelihood. In modern parlance it typically just means someone who is opposed to the adoption of new technology. I think parent's definition is more accurate than yours in either case.
