I completely forgot about web rings, and that's honestly a great example. It really does feel like we're getting a little piece of the old Internet back; spreading out and bringing back that individualized experience. And yet the connectivity of the fediverse has the potential to give us some of the good parts of the modern Internet.
A few years down the road this will probably be looked at as a transformative time for the Internet, for better or for worse. Given the negative impact of so called 'web 2.0' social media, I'd say getting away from it could have as far reaching positive impacts as getting tied into it had toxic results.
