Stefan BohacekHappy 25th anniversary to this Daily Mail article from the year 2000, proclaiming that internet "may be just a passing fad as millions give up on it".
Lots of snark and negativity (understandably!), but I am for one thankful for the internet/the web, and all of you being here with me.
We can still turn things around, together!
Jorge Candeias@stefan The question is how.
We won't do it while everybody else is still trapped in shit places.
We won't do it either bringing so many people over, with all their bad habits, that this (or whatever other good place we may come up with along the way) becomes yet another shit place.
It's a bit of a catch-22.
@jorgecandeias Fair point!
Honestly, the fact that fediverse exists does give me some hope for the future, even if we don't have all the answers quite yet.
