This thread (on threadiverse) reminiscing about 2000s era internet made me think:

A paradox with the current :

it's driven, partly, by nostalgia and longing for the "early internet".

And yet, is built in imitation of modern big-social.

I was struck by the thought "does the fedi capture any of these structures, feelings and vibes?"
I don't think so, at all.

The fedi is balkanised big-social, not new-old-internet, and you can feel it, there's unmet longing.

@maegul IDK, probably the Fediverse is to vintage clothing, like the "now old internet" is to collector's items.
The old Internet is not something we can achieve once again anymore I guess. We can only try to refurbish some old pieces and have them express that sort of feeling, but inevitably in a new way of perceiving it.
