I think his point is more that Web used to be plenty of smaller bubbles, with distinct culture and separate communities. Now we have only giant bubbles, which get homogenised, as everything of that scale is. I share the sentiment.
- Pigo 9y agoYeah, you definitely articulated it better than I could have. But I mentioned other sites besides just 4chan. Even IRC had networks full of active rooms, with people from around the world. I just know there used to be more things that I considered fun, and now I'm hard pressed to find such things. I'm not going into Freenet or Tor just to find something that doesn't violate YouTube or Facebook rules.
- TallGuyShort 9y ago>> Even IRC had networks full of active rooms >> I'm not going into Freenet Well there's your answer.
- Pigo 9y agoI know there's a freenet on IRC, but it seems to be people mostly talking about programming. Which is handy sometimes. But the freenet I was actually referencing was this project https://freenetproject.org https://freenetproject.org
- TallGuyShort 9y agoOoohhh and what I'm thinking of is actually freenode. My mistake :)
- eikenberry 9y agoIs this site a giant bubble? I spend a lot of time here and don't think of it that way.
