Don't get me wrong I'm a big fan but it seems like the fediverse could theoretically exist with like 5 users whereas a commercial company needs users for revenue. It feels like we are using the masters tools to try to destroy the masters house

@vera Honestly I was on reddit for the nerds (people) not the company and that's why I'm here now. Fortunately(?) I remember the internet before big social media and very comfortable with forums and boards. Can't say I'm able to speak for anyone else though.

I would definitely be down with a return to things like webrings. Everyone creates their own website and uploads content, and good creators invite eachother to their rings. I don't know why we ever stopped doing that.

But is that not what the fediverse is at heart? Anyone can make their own instance?

Nah, it doesn't seem quite like that. The closest thing I can think of would be something like Tumblr or closer still Geocities
