A movement focused on capturing the creativity and openness of the early Internet.

We aren't here to watch Big Web burn (we have plenty of communities for that) but to find positive ways we can make the Small Web better.

The small web just feels "cozier", anyone agree? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm so tired of the centralization that's been happening for the last decade. The small web, the fediverse and what not, just feels "cozier" in a sense. Even though you meet many toxic people here as well and there isn't as much information, it still replicates how the early internet felt. And it just feels better. Anyone else agree?

True, although the nature of the fediverse means something akin to the old forums is possible. People can more easily choose to sit in a small garden in the fediverse rather than only having the choice of a huge plaza with 100s of thousands of voices shouting for attention.

Thats a fundamental difference, even if a large popular part of the fediverse probably will likely go the way of every other big social media platforms and all the toxicity that comes with it.
