The emergence of social media has destroyed all the small communities to standardize communication and information.
It’s a bit of a digital version of rural exodus. And since 2017/2018, I’ve noticed that everything that, in my opinion, represented the internet has disappeared.
I’ve known Lemmy for a few hours and I feel like I’m back in the early spirit of the internet.
Throughout history, every village had one idiot, two max. And maybe one psycho.
Today thanks to the power of the internet these idiots and those psychos can unite and create big communities and represent a strong unified force in the world.
