    Yeah everyone I know, including myself, got this message today.

    Its such a bad idea to centralize the web like this. But its anyway turning into Ai generated shit isnt it, probably will be easier to stop using it once its all AI.

      I have this hope, that with all the AI garbage and shit social media algorithms, that there will be some kind of rebirth, where a new type of internet will look somewhat more like it did in the late 90s and early 2000s. Maybe through tor or something similar. It will be niche again, for techies and geeks and smart funny creative people. The normies can stick to Twitter and TikTok and Netflix and whatever corporate garbage. Maybe tor and the fediverse will play roles in this rebirth. Or maybe I’m just being too optimistic.

        I mean I feel like the fediverse is already unappealing to the “normies” so we kind of have that already to some extent

        That would be great, but this new Internet will somehow need to be able to accurately detect and block AI generated content.

        My guess is that the new social media will be people physically going to established common areas in their communities and talking to each other in person, face to face, which has it’s pros and cons.
