A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Really interesting article! Most importantly to me, it has spurred some really good conversations.

Personally, I don’t think early web is the answer. Modern web usage has allowed for better accessibility to all ages and types. Content aggregation allows for (but doesn’t guarantee) more views and opinions. There are certainly elements we can get back from the early days, but I think we still need work to find a perfect web

Thanks!

Of course. There are so many features of the modern web that i’d never give up (speed, security ,accessibility, api’s [that one’s ironic nowadays], dev tools, webgl,…).

Like you said, a great solution would be to combine those newer and older elements in order to create a great web for all. I think that the fediverse is already a great step into the right direction.

Absolutely. I guess that’s why many of us are here.

One could argue that this is part of the problem.

Interesting. I agree that there are some that make the internet a worse place, but surely we wouldn’t want to close the internet to all the others that could use it for good?
