If I might suggest, that the scene was scattered into the net when the internet became more "normie"-fied.
A review of history shows us, that thousands of websites made up the bulk of internet traffic and now it's been whittled away to social media networks and video streamers.
The internet, even in the early 2000's still was a bit wild west and anything remotely cool attracted it's fans.
The Internet left it's wild west phase some time in the mid 2000's (In my opinion). It was after that, it sort of became ubiquitous, everyone had it and everyone was using it. I think this pushed our more fringe culture of cyberpunk and dystopian futurism to the ether. This was also a time of great optimism. The internet was so free at a point that folks just didn't feel that corporate/political boot. So I think we scattered through out the net, finding our little corners or even becoming more Normie ourselves.
In the end, Cyberpunk isn't dead, we're just very scattered and those that still see our incoming future (lets face facts, it's practically happening now) will find ways to congregate.
I'm in a weird way, excited for the censorship and the boot pressing down just right. It's under those pressures that people will find the fringes, the dark corners, the little places where people can still speak free.
The Optimism of the late 2000's is firmly dead, replaced with the reality that the old guard of corporate and political control managed to reign in the internet, focus our collective attentions to their services and started systematically snuffing out any dissent or platforms for free thinking.
Stop thinking the it's dead… It can be a phoenix, perhaps we're all getting a front row seat to it's rebirth.
I sure hope so.
