what if in like the 90s-00s a bunch of municipal libraries offered a small amount of web hosting as a service you could access with your library card and each library had like a server closet and a guy working to administer the service as a public service and the software all those guys came up with was what had evolved into social media instead

I mean this is basically how the 80s-90s internet started through universities

And I mean, the social media end result of university internet with high-speed connections everywhere was Facebook
