    That’s actually a good news. Maybe we’re able to revert the internet to the times before the Eternal September happened

      This will never happen. We might get some of the issues more regulated, and people may move away from others, but you can’t put the Furies back into the box. Things will change, but we will never have the early internet again.

        We can, closed communities with some effort to enter the group. I pretty much ditched most main stream social media and use what it used to be mailing lists and discord servers. It’s not about technology. Internet and access used to be simply exclusive and we have to create exclusive channels to communicate about f.e. arts, history, technology or even occult where there is no “free riders” with no knowledge. That’s what I mean and this may happen imo. Quality over quantity

          Lemmy was at some point this pre-September place. Since then, it changed quite a bit.

          I think we’ll always have to face either Eternal September or walls and restrictions everywhere, making it hard to join and discouraging many genuinely good folks.

          Our best best is to influence the Internet culture at large, since there’s no grand influx of people on the Internet overall anymore. Of course, we go against algorithmic rage machines, but this is a fight worth having. And which place if not Fediverse is a good place to start.
