The old internet shows signs of quietly coming back

These niche groups for enthusiasts, tilde club or mastodon or neocities or aral balkan or whatever can't ever bring the old internet back. It's not coming back, it's really not, you just have to accept that the world you used to love is gone and find some new way to do things. Why make a dollhouse of your past. You must move on!

Because some of us enjoy the “dollhouses”…?

Dollhouse, fine. Why not then, when I switch browsers and doom scroll on Gemini I read different crap that the crap I read here.

I’m still frying my body and rotting my brain but at least it’s different content.

Yes that won’t solve anything, but does it have to?
