If Lemmy isn't the answer then I'm not sure what hope we have. This seems like a perfect storm and I doubt there will be a better alternative coming any time soon.

One of my concerns is that we are running out of people who remember the pre-corporate internet at this rate. This platform has a gaping hole of Gen Z users as far as I can tell. Many of them never experienced the internet when it was cool, so they don't have any particular dissatisfaction with the curated dopamine drip feed it has been turned into.

It just feels like this is the moment to revive that original dream of the internet for a new generation. Let's make it happen here so we can take credit for it ๐Ÿ˜
