Nah, “the rest of us” is ruining the internet by following the people in the top of the trash pit.
You know… nobody is stopping you from self hosting, building a website or digging a gopherhole?

My Flfriends set up a CMS by invite only (people we know IRL). Hundreds of us there and yet only a handful are active.
People want to be where the action is (more so than where the quality is). FOMO.

Well, look at it the other way around:
Those niche places act like a filter, pretty much alike as the whole internet was about ~20 years ago. Yeah, there may be fewer people around, but those people tend to be quiet a bit more interesting.
