@ifixcoinops@retro.social I'd add that, at least from what I can recall, people were more willing to tinker in the late 90s and early 00s. I knew not tech people who were willing to experiment and see what would happen.
That sense of safety and optimism will also need to be rebuilt.

@ajroach42@retro.social @ifixcoinops@retro.social More people than ever are actively looking to "degoogle" by which they mean alternatives to all the megacorps, not just Google. So the current interest may be about getting *away* from what people don't want. That's a huge opportunity to offer tools they can use, and talk up the safe, optimistic worlds we'd like to see, and in some places already DO see.
