Internet Utopia

[Ahriman]

Let's say someone created a utopia within cyberspace where people are actually judged by the content of their personality and intellect and everyone is both equal and in full possession of their individuality. What would be the implications of such a thing being created? Would the rest of the Internet go unused? Would anyone ever want to leave this utopia? Would the real world come to be seen as trivial and unimportant?

Wait. What? You mean this isn't utopia?

I was thinking more like Gaia Online, but better.

It already exists, or haven't you heard of social media?

You're kidding right? Social media sucks. Far from utopia.

OK........so I will leave my previous comment unchanged, for posterity. But I will answer your comment a different way. Social media is far from being a "free" platform, in the spiritual sense. One reason being, it's not anonymous. A truly "free" platform would be anonymous. And you can't just say anything you want on social media, because people are too judgmental, and start shit for no reason.

It's plenty anonymous if you know what you're doing.

Well you shouldn't have to go out of your way to be anonymous on the Internet.

If it didn't already provide a proper level of anonymity, I would know your real name, your address, and other assorted facts about your life outside the internet.
