Glad to be here, witnessing the death of the internet as we know it here together. I’m pretty sure most of you are real so let’s enjoy the show together before we all go outside again!
As the internet lay dying
I wondered if I should be crying
A great gift to mankind is losing it’s mind
Should we stay?
Said the friends we made along the way
Who are we without web?
But who, is the web without the we?
Even as we grieve and leave
Remember.
There is no web without the we
And where we go the web will be
I think the Internet will persist, but the public spaces on the Internet will ba treated like people treat the tabloid magazines at the grocery store checkout. Unused and largely ridiculed.
I expect invite-only microcommunities will thrive though.
You are right my friend. But i’m afraid that this might be at odds with annonimity online. These micro communities might look a lot like this, just more restrictive on the user registration side.
I can imagine that we may have a federated community of human verified forums. Where you have to go to the computer club at least once to get a forum account.
Anyways, the death of online truth and authenticity gives us a tremendous opportunity to reinvent what online contact should look like. But inevitably, it will be more outside and less online I think.

Are you real?
Well Yes!
AI is utter shite at poetry. Its the only proof of humanity I can convey over text except for swearing to show my humanity
It’s very good at slightly changing the phrasing of existing poetry and passing it off as an original poem
I’m not real
I’m a figment of your imagination
That’s a different lemming.
Gone like Geocities.
Yes it sort of feels like online ecosystem collapse. Between all the insincerity, ads and slop. Very few online places feel alive :(
