Comment on Downdetector is down
jaybone@lemmy.zip 3 days agoI have this hope, that with all the AI garbage and shit social media algorithms, that there will be some kind of rebirth, where a new type of internet will look somewhat more like it did in the late 90s and early 2000s. Maybe through tor or something similar. It will be niche again, for techies and geeks and smart funny creative people. The normies can stick to Twitter and TikTok and Netflix and whatever corporate garbage. Maybe tor and the fediverse will play roles in this rebirth. Or maybe I’m just being too optimistic.
That would be great, but this new Internet will somehow need to be able to accurately detect and block AI generated content.
My guess is that the new social media will be people physically going to established common areas in their communities and talking to each other in person, face to face, which has it’s pros and cons.

I can remember in 1998 my mom showing my aunt what the internet was. My mom says “You can even chat with the president! I was talking in a chatroom last night with Bill Clinton!”
Then she pulls up www.whitehouse.com.
Now I haven’t been there in decades, but back in 1998 that website was a porn website where they had a bill clinton imposter porn actor, and an imposter porn actress for Hillary and one for Monica.
As soon as the page starts loading, my mom screams, and sends 14 year old me out of the room.
Apperently the night before she went to whitehouse.gov. Which is a TOTALLY different site.
I never did find out what chatroom she really went to, and who she was talking to.

I mean I feel like the fediverse is already unappealing to the “normies” so we kind of have that already to some extent

The fediverse is only unappealing to normies because nobody listens to my ideas! When will society learn that I am the greatest man to ever live in history, and my word should be what generations worship for the rest of their lives?
Anyways…
All you gotta do to make the fediverse popular, is program the fediverse to give you a blowjob everytime you say “I’ve had a rough day!”
And then it cleans your house, and spanks your spouse!
I will accept all of your money now, please!
