@drimplausible "Re-imagining of the original purpose and potential of the internet" -- who wants to re-imagine that, and why does it matter to them? After all, nobody re-imagines the original purpose of say, the road system (horses, wagons, troops on foot movements)
(I'm not disagreeing, I'm just trying to make the reasoning explicit.)
@J12t It's a fair question. In my mind's eye the re-imagineers are the creators, contributors, and early adopters of the Fediverse.
While I was conducting the research for the most recent episode of the podcast, I was struck with how many parallels there were between the Fediverse and the internet of the 80s and 90s. There's a strong degree of overlap here as well, with personalities I witnessed via NNTP back in the mid 90s to now.
