While watching the video I couldn’t stop thinking about the fediverse. It’s basically self-organized social-media. While it is far from perfect it is so much better than the corporate alternative in terms of relevant content. I’m just sad that basically nobody I know personally actually uses the fediverse…
Same thing the nerds collectively used before your average schmoe started using the internet. That internet never went mainstream, and a model similar to it never will. Just how I like it.
Are you talking about IRC or Usenet?
