The Boring Internet

The internet you grew up on isn't dying. A commercial veneer glued on top of it is. A visual essay about the protocols, federations, and quiet machinery underneath everything you actually use.

Or how eyes being diverted to plagiarised copies of the stuff people go out of their way to create helps build communities of interest, (for fun or profit).
I appreciate the sentiment of the post, but I've never given two F's about the death of facebook of twiiter. Stuff moves on, it was always inevitable. But the death of search will kill independent community creation.

But I think being on Mastodon as part of the Fediverse is already an incredibly big step towards keeping the open non-corporate web alive.

although i guess dying gives the wrong implication. it's being killed.

I don't know how to use them or what all of these abbreviations even are. I'd love to communicate over these kinds of channels more. Love to learn how to find stuff, find community , find content there.
but it always seemed to me like it was a domain of tech people. Can you point me to a resource written for non techs? Practical?

There’s a version without animations:
