Same... I tried Kagi small web which kinda promised to fix it but so far every page is a hyper-focused version of everything I hate. It somehow made it even worse.

I think it can't really solve the problem because the people that want that tight nit free and open. Internet are already retreating from engaging with whatever this is.

People have repeatedly called things "Web 3.0" but I think we've legitimately made it finally and I hate it.

Try to look at it as the chapter of the internet as we know it is over. I feel the same way as this author but I hold out hope innovation will happen.

Someone will fill the void. How and when it happens remains to be seen. There was a time not too long ago when it was unfathomable for people to have computers in their pocket.

The simpsons will probably predict it.

AI is spam

Not a bad post and has some good points but I think they're reacting to broader social changes. Not just the Internet. That mentioned co-workers, and that to me indicates a broader issue.

VRChat still has a little old internet. Some worlds are weird, but some communities engage in stimulating discourse. Of course, avatars and such are monetized to some extent, but not the spoken content (please don't monetize speech).

!indieweb@lemmy.ml and !smallweb@lemmy.ml and friends are your saviour

Edit: I forget how the fuck to link communities without putting the whole URL

Edit edit: oh yeah, ! in front of name

there’s a typo at the end,

“These isolas are now much harder to find in the [pail] of slop, and I don’t see a way back.”

Yeah, well it's full of malicious actors now, an they generally out influence and overwhelm the ordinary user.

The internet was nice when it was a non-profit space for nerds, but now it's the main way to peddle money and influence in the world so it's nasty and corrupt.

the ideas of the early net were merely ideals and were never going to last once money got involved. very few ideals ever last once money and power become the currency.

How does he create these cool pictures?

IDK what. Internet and people are usually shallow. Internet is shallow since like 2005 when it became more widespread and accessible. Sometimes I find myself raising autistic kids on it.

There was that video game Prey. Where the people had their stuff outsourced to flying toaster AI robots called operators. So they can be present patiently and persistent everywhere. You could have like a doctor flying toaster. I want that. I have seen how limited are human doctors under these current circumstances of being in an overly monetized system.

Also human connections are important, but they are usually flawed and backfire.

Not like that people are wrong, they just suffer from this fetal alcohol syndrome and pregnant smoking related innate oxygen deprivation and stuff like that.

Escape to the smøl web! The tildeverse calls.
