It’s funny you say that, cause many people my age feel the same way about the internet of the early-mid 2000s, the wild west days of the internet. We always remember the things of our youth more fondly.
Eh, certainly a lot of big sites are shitting their pants right now, but I don’t think the internet as a whole is doing that bad. It’s really the consolidation of internet communities in the 2010s that lead us to this point, now we’ve learned a hard lesson. Even as things fall apart, FOSS thrives in their wake. We’re in a pretty sucky transition period, but I think the internet will be fine in the long run.
