Looks like a great article. Thanks for posting it! :) I hope that we do 'rewild' the Internet, but I don't know...I don't have much faith that it'll actually happen because of those who stand to keep raking in tons of money by keeping their monopolies/duopolies/etc and all the power they have. I hope I'm wrong!!
I hope you're wrong too, probably on us to make it so. Embrace diversity, fight monoculture, communicate as equals (one of our best advantages). It's the punk roots, and makes people happy, socially sustainable, given a society that isn't bled to the bone...
Lemmy be like.. Oh that's a great article. I should post it.. 14 people say at the same time :P
Not wrong... But posted anyway, someone didn't see it.
I'm aging along and I can remember the "old" internet, including the wild-and-wooly IRC/BBS days. It was a much freer space and I'd love to see it regain its Wild West character.
I think there's a generational issue at work, however: the internet is no longer cool or subversive. For most folks under about 35, it's just another appliance.
