defector has an article up about the current redditpocalyspe and the final paragraph nicely summarized a lot of what this thread has talked about over the last dozen pages

https://defector.com/the-last-page-of-the-internet

This was a thought I've had rattling around in my head for a while and I never did put it down or elaborate on it, so I'm glad this article did it for me. It's the cycle man, we're inevitably going back to word of mouth invite-only communities, maybe even reinvent webrings after that. We're probably going to have to unlearn the need for quick info and answers, and go back to the actual source: real people with real knowledge, whether they're pros or hobbyists.

I'd almost say that the future is Discord - spend hours hunting down the servers that cater to your interests (where entry might require you to actually talk to people and have them point you in the right direction), read through and get to know the main names in there, and organically become part of a community where you give and take. I say almost, because it seems Discord's in its own enshittification process, so who knows, maybe we should go back to PHP forums.

that just reminded me lol, one contractor dude who only worked with us for maybe two weeks showed his screen at one point to demonstrate a problem he was having in the IDE, and he had installed a bunch of really weird IDE plugins including one that put this particular anime girl all over the ui including a big semitransparent one in the corner of the editor window. showing this to business people didn't phase him at all, it was like it wasn't even there to him.

i later found out that was the titular little sister from the anime where the little sister can't possibly be this cute, which made it so much worse

lol was his cursor a little sword too?

Yep I think I've mentioned it before in this thread, but if the internet does get overrun by LLM detritus and ads to the point where its one function is gone, any "information exchange" is going to have to happen in private internets and right now that seems to be Discords, and the renaissance of non-searchable, non-indexed info, aka, talking to people, word of mouth spread, and invite-only communities. It requires a fundamental shift from the expectations we have today of easy and instant access to answers, back to recognizing people as the source.

the only way i can see the world wide web coming back is if a new search engine somehow is able to collect the manpower to validate and curate reputable sites by hand to ensure their indexes sites are firewalled from The Great Contagion™ but there's no way that's ever happening

Someone started a thread somewhere here about kagi, the paid search engine that gave you tools like the ability to filter out domains you don't want, and let you curate sources yourself. It was also 5 buckaroos a month so that's basically a non starter lol, though that's probably the paradigm shift from free (but ad-driven) that is the missing piece of the puzzle
