Dave@maria @hisham_hm there's still techno-utopianism in the various projects sometimes called "the smolnet" https://ploum.net/2022-10-06-archiving-smolnet.html
Mar 🐧@doiheart @maria @hisham_hm Indeed. I get the same vibes browsing through the phlogosphere (Gopher). E-Mail lists do as well carry that feeling discussed in this thread.
