This has always been what attracted me to bitcoin, and what I still look for on the internet today โ€” something closer to the wild Usenet and IRC and forum experiences I had in the 90s than curated Instagram feeds or censored news and opinion on Twitter. Pirated music. Sharing ideas. An ever-shifting cast of pseudonyms. nostr:note1amqjnf7mqpklwmry3hsczh9v4cmp3sc2ktcn927ng694tp42re6q3cks2q

The wild Wild West of unfiltered and uncensored information. The commercial internet (web 2.0) is no different from msm, with its Overton window and polished talking points driven by soulless influencers and soon by AI bots.

How could you bring that back now that there are AI spammers and stuff? I don't think it's possible. If good communities develop on the internet again, they'll have to be different

Usenet had massive problems with spam too.

If the problems it had with spam then made it unusable the way they would now, then why would anyone hype it up as a better internet when the internet is still pretty unusable today?
