Sums up my experience growing up
People using their real names and faces
Governments wanting to control it
Corporations flooding itJust a few things from the top of my head that made it all go to shit
It was certainly a group effort -

@ilovecomputers I feel this in every fiber of my being. I weep for every generation that has come after me that they will never know the peace of just getting to be without being tracked, monetized and fed into a perpetual rage machine.

@ilovecomputers@xoxo.zone I feel like the core of what we loved about the internet is there - it's hiding in chat rooms, little closed member forums, hand crafted websites. It's not gone, just harder to see, but if you dig through the muck, you find yourself in a small meadow with a few other folks who might share with you something good.

To be less of a downer, I want to pin this reply thread on this post as it contains links to indie websites and communities that continue to live on. It’s not just nostalgia; even amongst the next generation, there’s growing enthusiasm for slow tech.

@ilovecomputers This is the experience of the new "Lost Generation".
What's more crazy is knowing how deeply the media we consume shapes and informs us, and thinking about what teens and 20s today are growing up with. X_X
(I guess to be fair... What all of us are continuing to grow up with... But yeah, earlier formative experiences, chances to connect with people who expand your horizon, etc... dang)

@mutkitta @triptych @ilovecomputers Not sure whether it's possible, but what if we could use our Mastodon accounts for forums?
@hackillu @triptych @ilovecomputers I think some people are working on using the fediverse for "universal" comments for podcasts. That's one of the podcasting 2.0 features I'm looking forwards to. If it ever gets implemented

@hackillu There are fediverse versions of forum-like interfaces that look a little like reddit, or discord, or other things. They can interoperate with your mastodon accounts - you may have to set up new accounts to use them, but the interoperability is still there AFAIK. I haven't (yet) tried them out.
