maegul , 5 days ago This thread (on threadiverse) reminiscing about 2000s era internet made me think: A paradox with the current #fediverse: it's driven, partly, by nostalgia and longing for the "early internet". And yet, is built in imitation of modern big-social. I was struck by the thought "does the fedi capture any of these structures, feelings and vibes?" I don't think so, at all. The fedi is balkanised big-social, not new-old-internet, and you can feel it, there's unmet longing. https://lemm.ee/post/35170667
