    I know it’s unrealistic, but what would it take to return to a previous type of Internet that wasn’t so siloed and marketed, and filled with dread Internet?

      In a way, the Lemmy layer is sort of doing that. The previous type of Internet is still out there, if you just take the effort to access it / avoid the links in to the marketed sides.

        But it isn’t so many things have gone to Facebook or reddit and nothing else.

          The things that have “gone to Facebook or Reddit” mostly didn’t exist before Facebook and Reddit.
