@zleap @liaizon we need to grow. Horizontally. Not like the mistake Eugen has been doing continuously for the last five years

I am all for more servers, simply as it spreads the load for users, but I think the momentum has started now and hopefully won't stop.

Looks like investors are losing faith in facebook too, so maybe, just maybe the tide is turning,

Granted we could be going back to the way the internet was in the 90s, more personal, individual etc.

@zleap @piggo @liaizon i do hope that we all collectively go back to the internet of the 90's, especially for those who never got to experience it the first time round

@rozina @piggo @liaizon
Yes it was far better back then, I wonder if we could reboot usenet, gopher and other protocols so they support federation.

@zleap the ActivityPub protocol specifically addresses the weaknesses of those previous models. #learningcurve https://activitypub.rocks/

@zleap @rozina @piggo there are a lot of people here who still use gopher! I would be interested to see if how many still use usenet too

@liaizon @rozina @piggo

I did sign up to usenet via eternal-september.org but never really got back in to it, there is a 'lot' of random junk posting on there. so unless there is better moderation useful stuff gets lost in the noise.
