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?

Very interesting thoughts! Definitely agree that people do not seem to prefer personal contact, but to be honest, even on old forums and on IRC I don't recall messaging people 1-on-1 that much. I think another issue which relates to this community is the fact that people do not tend to read personal websites or blogs that much anymore. While Lemmy, the fediverse is great and all, I still miss more personal websites that aren't bound together in the same way as everything on the fediverse is.

Thx and yes, I think this is an issue. Not for the well-being of those blogs but as a signal of users unwillingness to find content they can relate to by themselves or more accurately I should say outside of a few main places where everyone is expecting to fond them be they privately owned or even Free/Libre/Federated.
