First all the bs with Twitter and Elon, then Reddit having an exodus to Lemmy (not complaining lol), then Twitch. Are we like, in an alternate self healing dimension or something?

It's up to us to make the web/Internet not boring again. There are many ways to do so:

  • Participating in the Fediverse
  • Building your own web page and adding it to a webring
  • Using alternative protocols, namely gopher, gemini, IRC, NNTP
  • Using alternative search engines (wiby, marginalia, etc)
  • Bulletin board systems

I just got into gemini! Sorta, just have a gemlog on gemlog.blue. I have to remember the early internet days where you just had to go from link to link to find interesting pages and check them again at my own will, but it is a nice little break from the everything that is the modern internet.
