The emergence of social media has destroyed all the small communities to standardize communication and information.

It’s a bit of a digital version of rural exodus. And since 2017/2018, I’ve noticed that everything that, in my opinion, represented the internet has disappeared.

I’ve known Lemmy for a few hours and I feel like I’m back in the early spirit of the internet.

    I don’t blame social media at all. The Internet was, and still is, a communications platform. Some form of “social media” has always existed on the internet even if they were not called that back then.

    I blame doing shit for the sole purpose of making money to be what has fucked up the internet. At least it’s only fucked on the surface. The real Internet still exists, it’s just not right out in the open where any random normie can find it.
