Internet was better when it was a bunch of forums and personal web pages

We can get it back, and the antitrust trials are a big part of actually doing it

Sure we can but will we? No.

Twitter has only lost ~10% of it’s userbase after repeatedly abusing its own users. Reddit probably less. After everything we’ve learned about Meta, tens of millions of people signed up on day 1 to join their new service, Threads. Google Chrome still has like 80% market share.

Changing is honestly a trivial ask, but we won’t, because no one cares.

then why are you even here?
Sorry I don’t understand the question?
why bother to respond to the comment if all you have to say is "all is lost"?
…why bother to respond to my comment? Why does anyone write comments? We’re all here for discussion.
Nothing about what you wrote was a discussion, you stated for a fact that we would not do anything about it
That’s incorrect
You realize all of that old shit is still possible today right? Static plain html still works. It loads quicker than ever. The only thing preventing it is the creators of the content. The masses on social media were never going to create that so having Twitter around doesn’t change the possibilities. Get cracking.
