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

    That means you need to get out more.

    The old Internet is still out there; it’s just that it is as flaky and hard to navigate as it always has been.

    The “modern” Internet is just a select number of services that send each other traffic and run by the algorithm.

    Most of the Internet I use in my spare time is stuff that’s been around since the 90s and still has about the same number of users it had then. Some of it is even indexed by search engines.

        Well, browse Google below the SEO dreck. Then follow the links.

        Or, find some niche hobby site and follow its links.

        Branch out from the world wide web… I still visit Hotline sites, the odd Gopher server, and other protocols of yesteryear.

        Browse a few sites in the wayback engine and find linked sites that still exist there.

        Or, go a totally different route and browse Tor or I2P.
