Max Böck in his article highlights some trends in the modern Web that return us to the good old-fashioned Web of 90s. And some of them correlate with the key ideas of Moera. Two quotes:

It might just be my IndieWeb filter bubble talking, but I think there is a renewed interest in personal websites. A lot of big social media giants are falling out of favor, and it becomes cool again to own a space on the web rather then being one of a billion usernames.

But these are giant black boxes, and nobody really knows what signals go into them. Throw advertising, “fake news” and a couple of trolls into the mix, and you get the mess we all know now.
