Websites run by ordinary people, about things they're interested in. Explanations in text instead of monetized YouTube videos dragged out so they can cram more adverts in. Decentralization, with lots of little hosts and sites instead of large walled gardens of corporately owned "content". The absence of the concept of "content". Places where people would chat just because they enjoyed talking to each other. Email that wasn't mined for details of your personal life by megacorporations. Fascism still being universally reviled.
