@Kroc i miss the early times of computing (and the internet!), full of curiosity, excitement, fun and possibilities. Before rich techbros MFs raped it to death.

@Kroc that's true but almost the whole infrastructure is corrupted and way beyond the point of "losing its innocence".
Therefore places like the Fediverse are important! Content because of people, not because of content itself, because of scam, empowering the rich, making people hate each other, making more money, winning polls, spreading shit, making people addicted and sick...
Give this sh*t back to the Nerds! 😃👾
