Maybe you thought the internet would be a tool for social progress. Well, its not quite but maybe, somehow, we can still make something good come of it.

I think the WWW as we knew it is unrecoverable. Greed destroyed the original ethos, and the policies (namely privacy) that were core to it's use as a public square.
Me, I'm older, so maybe prone to the nostalgia. But when we had IRC, AIM, forums and torrents it was so much a better space, and community.
The Fediverse isn't getting the traction I had originally hoped, but I also think it will be with us for many years to come. But yeah, I think decentralization is the only real way to move forward out of this nihilistic mess we call the web these days.
Just dont ever forget that evil people do exsist. Keep an eye out for them. They pretend to be like you or me but one difference, they dont care.
