god what I wouldnt give to go back to the days of the mid 90s, when the internet was nothing more than a collection of tech weirdos, with websites being nothing more than passion projects with no advertising, no SEO, no search engines, etc etc.
Try a different search engine.
Will give a spin
Tried a few searches. "no results". Oh well
It's a small web search engine so there is not a result for everything (as there was in the early Internet). The 'Explore' feature is probably more entertaining (stumble upon-esque) than using it as an actual search engine.
Kagi isn't bad at not serving up crap, but it requires a subscription eventually.
there was plenty of advertising on america online though almost ever keyword was to a business that was an advertisement.
i do agree that web 1.0 and the 90s internet was superior
~~will give a spin~~ Sorry answered wrong comment. Big finger issue

Can't we go back? What's stopping you?
the pesky linearity of time as we understand it.
I'm going to risk that going back to personal websites would be a blast. And people would enjoy it.
People on neocities: "what's stopping all of you?"
The small-web exists and thrives in its little bubble of creativity
Neocities? what even is.....
Oh.
Such style. Such creativity. Personality in design! It's like looking back into a lost age from when things were allowed to be fun. None of this 'advertiser safe minimalism'.
This makes my brain do the happy chemicals.
I do have a personal website, but i'm using github to host it. My current works makes heavy use of generative ai, so I haven't shared it around lemmy due to overwhelming negative opinion regarding ai content.
btw, yours is super cool.
edit: the text on the tab is ANIMATED
I hate that this is not used more. This is dope!!
what is that, some successor to geocities? or is the naming convention purely coincidental
Successor by a small community, forget the chain of events but, basically yeah.
Does self hosting, at home, really pays off nowadays, or does hiring server space is a mandatory requirement?
