The fact that all of the major platforms are changing hands, having to change due to government bans or laws, or from CEOs who force changes people don't like into their platforms.
Then and a bunch of others cropping up trying to take their place.
not that I would mind considering that the entire mainstream internet is now 5 or 6 websites owned by 3 or 4 people and all of them are either fucking awful, have TONS of ads on them or Boost Right Wingers and Bigots while censoring LGBTQ content
Overall, I'm kinda hopeful and Scared about the future of the internet
All websites will be tiny forums with slightly different ideologies. By 2030 we will have a Hexsnare; a Marxist Leninist forum that believe in revolution only through making a new Red Army chior but through drums, Pecksbear; a pro China Anarchist polycule trying to resurrected Stalin, PlexBear; a Juche Linux web hosting and movie sharing website where all the content uploaded has to some way relate to AES, Bear; An image board similar to instagram, where you can only post about the Hexbear and how dope the bear is, and He𝕏bear; a communist forum that believes in accelerstionism through Elon Musk gaining the reigns of the United states. All of these websites with further fracture into 30 new websites come 2040.
Yeah I've been thinking a lot about our future balkanized internet.
Interesting times ahead.
The Balkanized internet seems like it would just be the internet reverting to how it was in 2004 except with more people. Which is good, this place has made me miss the days of smaller forums that each had their own culture.
