  We also underestimated the number of idiots in the population. Or their ability to find little niches in which to congregate.

  I like us building alternatives on the internet. The fediverse makes me hopeful again.

  • some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Agreed. It’s one of the only things about the internet where I’m genuinely optimistic.

  The internet is still okay, just don’t use any social network and ignore everything made by corporations.

  I mean you clearly demonstrated how stupid you are

    When did I say anything remotely like that? Thanks for calling me stupid for making an observation.

      The internet is the worst thing we’ve ever done to ourselves.

        I mean, it’s okay to criticize something because you want it to be better…

  This is a joke. Have you considered the possibility that you are the stupid person in this case?

    Have you considered that you may not know which of the two I’m responding to?

  We had really high hopes and big dreams for the Internet when it was conceived.

  We ended up with social networks that steal and sell you information without your knowledge, and without any compensation to you, and “AI” slop for chat bots, and forum posts and pictures and even video now…

  This is not what the Internet was made for.

  I don’t know if it’s true, but it feels like the Internet was better when it was limited to enthusiasts and people in higher education.

  Letting every idiot post every word that comes to mind for the whole world to see was probably a mistake.

    Look up “eternal september” on wikipedia. You’re not wrong at all.

      Yeah, you’re probably not wrong, sorry.

      Plenty of rich people are shitting up the internet, though.
