The internet is dead its hollow corpse is a shitty mall and propaganda brainwashing machine.
the 90s internet was so much better. I want the 90d internet back. even if it did take a week to download a movie
The 90s internet is still here the web is just gone. Tildeverse, Gemini, BBS, Muds and IRC are still around. Its smaller but so was 90s internet but its still a lot of fun in the hidden corners of the net.
A Gemini reference in the wild!
I looked a couple years ago. Briefly toyed with it, made a page or two. I like the ethos, and am about 99% on board. I only wish it had inline images. I feel like that omission alone would greatly hurt its adoption and relegate it to not just niche, but super-ultra-niche.
