You hate the decadence of mainstream platforms, yet you are unwilling to put in the slightest effort to change the status quo.

>In the 90s and 2000-10s we had the traditional hackers who built up the majority of modern tech infrastructure in protocols most people now considered "dated".

A 17,000-word essay on the state of the internet is not "high quality". It is not original. Simply relying on "decentralized protocols" and an "anti-mainstream" attitude will never build a vibrant community. The true path forward lies in shedding ideological obsessions and actively embracing those "mainstream" people who are willing to create and build, and using that bridge to breathe new life into the web.

Why do you think you deserve a "better Internet" if you aren't going to work for it? You reap what you sow.
