@thomasfuchs The small web is gaining ground and if we're a bit more "bubble"-y, as it grows, I think that's fine. Society entered into this wacky hyperconnected world that way before we made it a de facto civic duty to be exposed to a whole internet* of bots and trolls.
Returning to the small lets us dismantle the disinformation machine that is the Instant Gratification Global Mass Media. If we see more cohesive communities as a result, I don't hear a loss there.
*That's the plural, I say.
