Thank you for articulating what I've been trying to. I had the same knee jerk reaction to the fediverse, but you're exactly right. Yes, it's easier to find things to doomscroll in the corporate "web 2.0" glossy version of the internet, but it's also designed to make us forget that comes with a cost. I'm realizing that so much has become like the blow molded plastic Step 2 brand Cozy Coupe version of what things used to be. There are fewer sharp corners, but the trade off is that it's a simplified, AI curated version of the whole.
I don't exactly know what this is yet, I'm not sure how it's going to evolve, and a lot of it feels very raw... but that's also part of what makes it exciting. It's going to be fun.
