Back when I first started using the internet, early-mid 90s, there was a feeling that we were in control - the users. The giant corporations hadn't taken over yet, content was all user generated, the apps and early sites were all user run. It was weird, uncontrolled, unpredictable, janky as hell... but also really cool.

Lemmy, and the Fediverse as a whole, feel like that again.
