    feels like we lost the internet in a lot of ways. i wonder what the solution is, if there even is one. i guess we just can’t give up fighting.

    You’re posting in the solution right now :)

      Lemmy does give me a strong nostalgic feeling of old school forums. I think the Fediverse is going to give enthusiasts what they’ve been missing. I just hope it lasts and continues to grow.

          they’d have to talk to a lot of website administrators. even if they contact the developers directly and somehow convince them to include adware (a snowball’s chance in hell), instance admins can just remove the adware and run their own ad-free version of Lemmy

            this. I like the fact that for Lemmy you can just set up your own instance if you don’t find one that suits your needs (and hope this feature never goes away). sure, it can lead to some fragmentation, but it’s not like entire communities didn’t switch forums and providers in the past
