(this would be a quote, but i can't it looks like)

i've been meaning to write a piece about #resonite in regards to this - while objectively very different from the old web (it's not a fully open platform, it's 3D & VR, it's a social multiplayer experience), it reminds me so much of the old web - just the vibe of learning the tools of crafts they're not in (game dev, 3d modelling, programming), in a way that's extremely quick, and you can just do spontaneously to make things that aren't valuable in the way the modern internet works (ie, engages as big of an audience for as long as possible so you can sell ads on it), but just making things for the sake of making things that are cool and interesting to you.

also helps that the platform itself seems pretty enshitification resistant as compared to say, vrchat
