Is the "web revival" salvageable?

[Namefag]

The concepts of "social media le bad, corporate minimalism le bad, personalization le good" appeals to me but I can't help but notice that every. Single. Person. in that movement is some kind of real woman or furcaca or other cordnoob screaming from the rooftops about the exact ideologies that killed the "old web" they claim they're so nostalgic for.
>Yeah man the old web would have totally accepted my wolf-unicorn hybrid fursona and used my goon/goonself pronouns

Also real womanliartropolis likes the old net (due to a high prevalence of porn and gore on sites with minors in it so they'd see it every minute) which is objectively a red flag.

My question is this: Do (You) believe this movement ever had merit? If it did, can it still be salvaged or is it just for real women now?

Serious answer? No, I don't even see the purpose in it. It's an attempt to recreate a time that these people weren't there for or weren't old enough to vividly remember. It's a gimmicky LARP more than anything. At least films like Boogie Nights or The Wedding Singer were self-contained, one-hour-long love letters to a decade that the filmmakers grew up in and remember fondly; it was a one-off recreation. These people actually want to live it but cluelessly base it off the personal anecdotes of people who were there, old screenshots and Webarchive point-and-clickers, and whatever other shit they can find.

What I'm more concerned about are the bots that are quickly eroding the digital stratosphere, pumping out shitty, useless videos with AI-generated factoids, shitting up video games like TF2, and populating a good portion of the discussions that happen online, and worse, they're becoming more and more real, as in they blend in with the rest of the dummy majority that exists online.
Now, there really isn't a difference between the post-2008 internet and the 2025 internet in terms of quality of discussions, but at least it's nice to know you're talking with a fleshy dummy instead of a dummyed bot.
Relegating yourself to forums negates this, as seen on this forum, but for how long?
When will bots start signing up for random SNCA forums and try blending in with their community? It's only a matter of time.
Really, I think more people are just going to say 'fuck this shit' and begin only using the essentials to get by, or just fuck off entirely. Both with the bot crisis and with governments cracking down on obligated digital ID verification. Shit sucks, dude.

Essentially, if you play Bioshock, listen to barbershop quartet revivals, electro-swing, or chap-hop, and take an interest in the Art Deco movement and like penny-farthings. You know exactly what life was like from the 1890s into the 1920s.

You wouldn't get it, chud.

 

[ATWA ya dig?]

It's actually sad. Escapism failed them, as it always does, and instead of finding a hobby or anything satisfying in life they're clinging to the corpse of something they never witnessed hoping that it will make the internet fun again so they can justify wasting their time some more.

God, I still stand by this but every time I go 'surfing on neoclitties and see the likes of this, I reconsider my opinions for just a moment. I still think USENET won by the way.

 

[Apeson]

The problem with the new internet is that everything is owned by corporations and therefore has to be sanitized for advertisers in order to make money. The problem with the movement you're talking about is that it's full of real women. real women can only exist in sanitized spaces and would ack immediately if people were able to say what they actually think about them without getting banned. The movement will therefore just lead to the current internet being recreated as it's the only place its members can exist.

That's why we should claim it and spam the noob word. Because people would actually say it without anyone leaking in the old internet.

 

[4tehlulz]

I wouldn't even say it's a movement, it's just a shared sensibility by many people and a lot of real women are included amongst them. real women will be the loudest voice any where they exist, stitched into their identity is an innate need for attention. May they all die
