- throw10920 3y agoThat's incorrect. The fact that the internet is not a community is not a problem - it's objectively correct and morally desirable. It's neither possible, nor desirable, nor good, to treat the internet as a community. It isn't, and we wouldn't want it to be in the first place, just like we wouldn't want all the nations of the world to be fused together.
- imp0cat 3y agoIt may not be now, but some people remember the time when the internet felt more like a community and it was glorious.
- throw10920 3y agoThat was only possible because the internet was far smaller. There are now billions of people with internet access - the cat is out of the bag. The best you can do is try to form your own little community in a corner of the internet - which is actually a great idea. Mass social media has so many problems - trying to make a little nook for yourself and a small group of enthusiasts/friends seems like the best way to go.
