Seven years later, Kyle’s argument is that AirSpace has turned into what he now calls Filterworld, a phrase he uses to describe how algorithmic recommendations have become one of the most dominating forces in culture, and as a result, have pushed society to converge on a kind of soulless sameness in its tastes.

I think we're in it, the fediverse ran by instances that are more interested in fostering community than making a buck. There is a need and want for new ways to access the internet, the fediverse is one way that it's being provided. I'm not sure we're ever going to attract the internet tourists, but that's probably a good thing. This is where you go to get away from that.
