I really miss them personal websites … I kind of really want to like learn to make my own little space and stuff. The HTML coding for them was so much fun.
I was actually taught html in highschool
I should absolutely do this lol
That’s so dope~! When you do , come around here and share it! I wonder if a community of personal websites could be a thing in the future. Imma try an learn some HTML in the mean time
Let us know if it ever is! Love to help find support for projects like that!
Yeah, that’s why I don’t like much how they are using this place to repost memes or tweets. It’s not content I really like, a written thought like yours will always be more genuine and personalized.
You can block communities, or just curate your subscriptions
Yes. Let’s make it like that again.
Absolutely! I love how lively it is at the moment!
Yeah it used to be like the wild west. Plenty of danger and exploration to be found. Now everything feels very samey, and overly sanitized. For better and worse. However I’m definitely glad some of the real seedy crap the old internet had is gone, or at least way harder to find.
Did you notice how the quality of the results returned by google degraded over the years? When it started they had to take out of the market the competition and they strived to return the best possible results. When they became an oligopoly with their alter ego bing they begun to restrict the navigation to the sites in their friendly network.
The other big sites played the same game sharing links mostly with the other big known sites, the media took part in the game by attracting the attention on those big known sites. A combination of restricted horizon, but with overload of information to reduce the users need to look outside that horizon. This is the result you see today.
Well yeah, and many sites are standardized to some extent via Google indexer requirements, Google ads and analytics, and Facebook bugs. Facebook has a profile on everyone even if they have never signed up for Facebook.
Yep. ActivityPub is the best thing to hit the internet in the past decade. I think the decentralization it enables does a good enough job of balancing between the absolute control of a fully centralized service and the absolute chaos of a fully distributed service.
