And if not what do you expect/want to replace it with. I dont think the whole web being like the fediverse is feasible,since billions of users use the internet

    I dont think the whole web being like the fediverse is feasible

    It does not need to be. “Whole web” being a certain way almost implies it all follows the same standards from which point the people who set and develop those standards become the centralised authority.

    I like to think of the internet as simply a carrier of digital information. This can be any information. My vpn tunnel is just as much a part of the whole as a public website.

    The way i envision a positive evolution is that more people get involved in running their own network, for themselves, their family, their neighbourhood, a global community they are a part of.

    They can use the activitypub protocol, a selfmade protocol or any other they want. The only thing that matters is that the people who need and use the digital information can use it.

    The public internet dominated by large players will still exist but it will be (and actually already is) a small portion of everything we use the web for.
