i certainly wouldnt call it progress, thats for sure. i half wonder if we dont need to go back to protocol basics and think of a robust way of enmeshing home hosted microservers in a way that preserves anonymity and accessibility. we cannot possibly need the kind of overhead in terms of compute the current internet uses if we dont actually care about nonsense like web applications. id like to live in a world where i can have my own personal little talk space doing what we currently use discord for (using some better software ofc) on a tiny little single board computer that sips power and stores all its data on a simple mirrored SSD setup.
