Agreed. It feels like this hyper-corporatization of the internet has finally started to wear thin enough that larger numbers of people than ever before are looking to escape the ‘centralized’ web. I left ALL social media (except reddit) over two years ago now, and I never realized how much happier I’d be without what I thought was convenience… and now I’ve dropped reddit too. I sorely miss the early internet, and while we’ll never get those days back, this is the closest it’s felt in literally 10 years for me. I hope this continues along its current trajectory, because it feels… really good?
