I'd rather go back to a free and wide open but slow web compared to the corporate big brother kernel level anti-cheat world we live in today.

Back then it was a place for us nerds, techies, early adopters.

Now it's a place dominated by the rest of the world. Including all the bad stuff like politics, big corporations and ads.

It was nice for a while... We need a new place :-)

Well if it's any consolation, the Fediverse is basically the spiritual successor to that time period on the internet: now with interesting tech improvements.
