I think it’ll be a balance. Less 90s internet and more ~2010 internet. Mainstream platforms will stay big, popular and centralised, but the internet has billions of users now. There can be massive thriving networks of people doing their own thing on platforms like Lemmy at the same time as millions of people flock to Twitter or Facebook or whatever.
I see the internet just going back to the way it was in the early '00s. It’s a fresh start to say the least.
That would be nice but I’m doubtful. Too many people make far too much money from centralization.

Yeah, I didn’t consider that. I guess it’s more unknown since it comes down to the economy and how things are in the future.
