Comment on The ‘Great Meme Reset’ Is Coming: From Jack Dorsey to Gen Alpha, everyone seemingly wants to go back to the internet of a decade ago. But is it possible to reverse AI slop and brain rot?

Even if you’re in the camp that understands memes like “6 7” have more significance than they’re given credit for,

I think 6-7 is a shibboleth. It doesn’t say much on its own, except which group you belong to.

Substance, as ever, remains a relative notion. Nyan Cat perhaps didn’t have the substance of an Andy Warhol image

I’d argue the Nyan cat is more substantial than what Andy Warhol came up with.

If you want a great reset you’ll need a new internet that is outright hostile to corporate interests. No corposlop being produced there, no derailing old memes to sell you junk.

A new internet that’s outright hostile to corporate interests is what some of us are trying to build with nostr

  The website is confusing me, can you try to explain this to me?
  
  Nostr is an apolitical communication commons. A simple standard that defines a scalable architecture of clients and servers that can be used to spread information freely.
  
  So it’s like ActivityPub?
  
  anyone can build on Nostr and anyone can use it.
  
  How is it accessed, do you need to connect to IP addresses, is there a url analogy or is it all on the ‘clearweb’ and another layer on top.

    It is a protocol like ActivityPub is
    
    Currently there are relay servers and web clients with DNS addresses, onion addresses, and I think some reachable with meshtastic somehow, but idk much about meshtastic. And then there are native apps for Android and Apple
