< missing when the internet was more benefit than burden
Yeah I fully agree, even though this is obviously a common sentiment on the geminispace, and communities intimately linked to it (like this one), along with much of the Fediverse that the modern internet is practically no longer *free*, as the main institutions that hold it up in theory are funded by those same corporations that for support its biggest problems. I would personally enjoy seeing new communities pop up.
