    While nostalgia is a toxic impulse (h/t #JohnHodgman), there's no denying that there once existed an old, good web, and that it has given way to the #enshitternet. I don't want to bring the old, good web back, but I would welcome a *new*, good web, and by studying the factors that contributed to the old, good web's rise and fall, we can both conjure up that new, good web - and protect it.

    As #JohnHodgman is fond of reminding us, "#nostalgia is a toxic impulse." It is easy for an old net.hand like me to fall into the trap of shaking his fist at the #cloud. Having been on the other side of that dynamic, I can tell you it's no fun.

    When I got on #BBSes in the early 1980s, there was an omnipresent chorus of grumps insisting that the move from honest acoustic couplers to decadent #modems was the end of the Golden Age of telecommunications:
