The fediverse gets me excited about the Internet for the first time in a long while, warts and all.
Agreed, after spending time on here not being hounded by ads and tech company jargon, I see what a online social network should be like. Not motivated by profit, but rather community
It's telling how new the reddit userbase is that they don't know the histories of it. In for the first part of reddits existence it was full of warts. There was a saying, 402 it went through 404 try once more. Because reddit sucked at submitting comments so you had to keep retrying at times. Down times were so often too.
I think the last time I felt excited about the Internet was when Firefox was released.
