@vera Honestly I was on reddit for the nerds (people) not the company and that's why I'm here now. Fortunately(?) I remember the internet before big social media and very comfortable with forums and boards. Can't say I'm able to speak for anyone else though.
I would definitely be down with a return to things like webrings. Everyone creates their own website and uploads content, and good creators invite eachother to their rings. I don't know why we ever stopped doing that.
But is that not what the fediverse is at heart? Anyone can make their own instance?
