This community is an attempt to spread communities out more from lemmy.world and lemmy.ml, so its less centralized and using the advantages of the fediverse.

warning

if you are not a regular user of a niche internet microcommunity like the dark fediverse, irc channels, mumble servers, forums, micro-imageboards, dead social media sites, maybe the community servers of a 20 year old video game, or god forbid, a discord server with racial slurs, this post has left its intended audience and to consider anything beyond this as merely anything more than an anthropological record of the schizoid ramblings for an ideologically captured dysgenic philosophy is a fool's errand. you've been warned. also this was written in like an hour so good luck. if hn or reddit finds this then we've already left.

I love a good dirge where I agree with about 70% of what the person is saying and can’t tell if it’s cringe or eloquent until I’ve sat with it awhile. It usually tells me I’ve made it to the right parts of the internet lmao.

However I don’t think the internet is dying, I think it’s fragmenting slower than it used to because the informed are moving away from the social spaces where they’re obviously being mistreated, just like they always have. Only now most of them have digital baggage because these companies have been around so long they have become a large part of our every day lives. Migrating from MySpace to Facebook was 100x easier than trying to move your family from Facebook Messenger to Signal.
