RE: Nostalgia for the old internet and when I had energy to care

Before @riverflows gets here, you've seen this video, yes?

And on the same theme, @ankapolo sent me this today: which I haven't had a chance to properly check out yet.

Both of these things might be the closest we get to the old Internet - static, built by people, not written by SEO drones or AI prompts.

Something that has a heart, and a soul, and akward-ness of all of it being different and disconnected, yet, still connected by the sense of human wonder.

The website as a piece of standalone art, or as a love letter to something, as opposed to ... whatever it is we have now as a collective "Internet".

Hive is close. But it isn't quite.

Hey, thanks for the credit, and by extension, I must credit @tibfox for making the post where I found this site.

In fact, here is the full post:

We can make the Internet a place again :) Thanks for the share to that post, adding it to my favourites for future reference.

🤓🤘

As someone who once had a Geocities webpage, I love the look of neocities!

I already have ideas myself :)
