Do you guys think the internet will ever become fun again or is that time over for good?
>>
depends on what you are doing on the internet but in general its definitely gonna go even more down
>>
It's gotten better since Elon bought X.

I never used Xitter, but I have the suspicion a lot of anons migrated there

half the internet is third worlders, low iq folks, ai, bots, burner accounts, etc.
no shit is perma fucked.
>>
hot take but i think the internet's at the inflection point. it's getting shittier more slowly now and eventually it'll turn around and become a comfy nerd place
>>
>>84457589
if social media disappears then the internet will become good
>>
>>84457633
>third worlders, low iq folks
a bit redundant, no?
>>
>>84457589
over for good. but, there will be better digital spaces, offline even. Like your own bubble, with your personal AI, tailored specifically to you.
>>
>>84457589
no, its done. third worlders and turbo normies got on it and ruined it. it was only good when it was considered geeky

That kinda sounds lonely desu
>>
>>84457627
Doubt it. The bots are worse than ever and the whole "comedy is legal" bit is complete bullshit because you still get suspended for mundane things like telling someone to kill themselves
>>
>>84457641
You're on social media, lad
>>
>>84457675
sounds good to me. I'm not a normie who is not capable of getting through the day without talking to somebody else.
>>
>>84457727
not a social network thoughever

There's a growing retro/indie web movement of people making classic 90s/early 2000s style sites on neocities and other free website hosts. I haven't delved into it much but what I've seen from yourube vids looks wholesome and nostalgic. I miss websites and internet communities that weren't designed around social media, engagement baiting, doom scrolling, and data farming. I miss honest and passionate communication.

nah. unless someone makes a completely detached internet from the current one. the one we have is just going to be increasingly more and more censored and boring.
>>
>>84457727
i was assuming you could tell that i was talking about instagram and tiktok
>>
>>84457781
nope, but if you search about it on youtube a lot of them will have links to their recommendations. I think there's also a site where people can list their retro and indie web sites, but I don't remember what it was. Just google around.

What I saw was pretty normal looking. I think people are going more for indie side of things than the retro side, it's just that homemade websites just feel retro because shit has been corporate owned and fake for so long

it is better now
>>
>>84457847
It's mostly shallow, done for the sake of it above all else, not for any purpose beyond itself, unlike what it tries to imitate.
>>
>>84457930
I know what you meant, but you're retarded because there's no meaningful difference between this site or that. This is just your insta, tiktok, xitter, etc. The idea that one or more of the others not existing would make this site better is, well, retarded.
>>
>>84457984
To be fair, many old sites never had any purpose
>>

>there's no meaningful difference between this site or that. This is just your insta, tiktok, xitter, etc
pinterest is a great site
>>
I like it more than ever due to the amount of information available. It's what the internet should be about. Everything else makes it absolute shit.
>>
>>84458497
they want to take that away from us
>>
>>84457589
every day on the internet is the best it will ever be because it will only get worse tomorrow
>>
>>84457589
No, because of phones. The internet was decent when it was mostly for desktop PCs. Phones ruined it and it's irreversible.
>>
>>84457589
It's fun now.

Just not here. And not on your smartphone either.
