Maybe this already exists. But couldn’t one theoretically create a world within a world that is like the Net we all knew and loved before it was enshittified? I know the wayback machine exists, but I was thinking something that is still alive. IRC chats, forums, flash games (maybe not, with security concerns…), video sites that didn’t suck absolute ass like Corptube, stuff like that.
If it does exist, I am sure this would be the place to find it! Or maybe is a matter of staying off of all modern corp sites. I don’t know. Maybe Lemmy is this fantasy world…
You ask for a world within a world. I think we already have that.
I still host my own website. And many others do too. You can get individuals perspectives and content there.
Forums still exist. I see Lemmy similarly, in a - for me - better format.
Flash game websites still exist, and javascript-implemented flash-players are not a security risk. There’s various newer technologies as well now, which allows you to play those kinds of games too. And there’s many good and independent titles and kinds of online games out there. Be it individual or on accumulating websites.
