Maybe it’s a good thing if the Internet eats itself.
If only we can somehow figure out how to bring back something like the web of the ’90s
Federation, mostly. Places like Lemmy and Mastodon aren’t obsessed with optimizing ad spend, so there’s a lot less incentive to enshittify.
I have high hopes
youre pretty much in it.
YouTubers are doing webrings again, I shit you not. I love it.
Ok that’s cool
It mostly still exists, you just arent interacting with it.
Unfortunately no one else is interacting with it either. I miss the old style forums, and most of the ones I used to frequent are still online. But they all haven't had any real activity in years, so they aren't really usable anymore unfortunately.
I call it the side web.
It feels like sneaking along on the shoulder of the information super highway.
