Even the non-commercial spaces are commercial. I’ve seen a bunch of thing disguised ads on here already. The fediverse is no different than the rest of the net. The big corps are still monitoring everything.
Every “nerd” I meet now wants out asap. The only ones who don’t seem to be pushing blockchain or AI. The tech sphere I loved is well and truly gone. The people are so profit driven nothing else can matter.
Well, do try Gemini, if you want to see the anti-thesis of commercial viability. You’ll need a dedicated Gemini browser. You can try to search from gemini://geminispace.info/search , but some Gemini capsules, you’ll just have to discover.
I do actually also feel like the Fediverse is a bit too popular now, after Ex-Twitter and Reddit committed seppuku. But I’m still hoping, if it bothers me too much, I can simply move to a more isolated instance where there’s only nerds again.
Lukewarm counter-take: That non-commercial internet is still out there.
As long as there’s nerds, there’s going to be nerds building stuff for the fun of it. Building your Lemmys, your Fediverses, your Geminis etc…
There is definitely more legislation now, dissuading some percentage of nerds, but we also have a lot more nerds…
