@[email protected] Well to be honest, there was a time on the internet that felt like people produced content which was not driven in any way by profit. This content was purely made to socialise with other people who spent a lot of time using the internet.
I think the internet has a lot of potential for being a place for growing ourselves individually and socially, instead of being somewhere toxic or profit driven. That's what I mean by productive: growing ourselves and growing community. Also growing these things without some form of profiting company looming over it.
That's how I view something like the fediverse, or how I view personal blogs like your own blog for example.
@[email protected] True though, it is not effective? We are talking right now in a non-profit area of the internet achieved through open source contributions and community participation :)
I'd say that's a pretty nice, effective thing that has been accomplished
