I'd like it if there was a 3rd web. Not normie web, not dark web, but 90's-2000 web where it felt like anything could happen and you needed some skill and willpower to get online. That way you had to earn it and so did the others, so there was a lot less marketing, propaganda and conspiracy theory on it.
I don't know what the rules or parameters would have to be to re-initiate that now.
PS just like the joining process on Lemmy filters out the lazy people without much initiative to tinker and find new places to hang out before they are cool and streamlined.
