If you could bring back one defunct internet-based thing (website, protocol, game server, online feature of some device, …), what would you pick and why?

While it's not truly defuct I would love if less corporate chat protocols like xmpp and irc were more used outside of niche tech communities, they're very nice if you just want to chat with someone and forget about all the bullshit of modern closed chat apps.
