1 of 2: The Desktop Simulator (https://cerebraldatabank.neocities.org/cool_webpages/desktop_simulator.html) now contains an F10 boot menu, a crash screen, and Webtron now has a menu where you can get extensions. New features: 1. Right click "C:" in File Manager and click "Remove this drive..." to prevent SimOS from booting until you reinstall it. 2. You can now delete 1 .EXE file and some .TXT files.

"own communities and own search engines with our own content" Won't they be valuable only for their inhabitants. I've seen old forums with strong community where original content was defeated by discussions about community itself. Less audience, less content, less newcomers, less feedback.

If you post on a forum, you don't own your content; the forum mods do. It's functionally no different than Facebook, except the censorship is cause mods woke up on the wrong side of the bed today instead of conspiring with Merkel and Hillary for voters.

My comment wasn't about regulation at all but rather about self-regulation - if people doesn't feel that they'll be heard, they're silent. Also isn't this "good web" infrastructure going to be controlled by people (which aren't ideal and have the same vices)?

That's why it'll be the "internet" of the 1%, for the people who have something to say, and must scream, even at the void. Most people won't know or care to do it, and they can stay on Instagram to share their stupid #brunch. Our new infrastructure will evolve from Freenet/GNUNet/IPFS/etc. It'll be imperfect, but far more resilient to censorship (including self-censorship) than the Facebook Reich.

You'll probably like this given your "rambling" https://indieweb.org/wiki It's more about dynamic sites than static ones but they express some of the same woes. If you can't quit social media you might consider using POSSE to cross post. The wiki describes the theory behind it. (I personally just deleted my Tumblr and other accounts)

Thanks! I'm giving it a thorough look-over and this wiki seems to detail the stuff I've been thinking for a while now. I'm happy to quit social media slowly/in my own way, but there's a lot here and it looks like I have some reading material 🤘

Have fun. It links to many example websites too, and it was a great inspiration for finally having my own site.

I love the IndieWeb concepts, but sadly, its technical aspects are fragmented and unstable as fuck. You could either use half-broken WordPress plugins or spend weeks implementing all the stuff on your own.

Or just build your nice neocities page, stick some RSS/Atom on it, and call it a day.

That's what I prefer too.

Mastodon is great, even better than Twitter in most aspects and you can set up Twidere to use it.

I mean, okay, the UI and the protocol are obviously 10000X better because nothing is worse than Silicon Valley garbage. But my site already has a microblog and it's quite okay IMO. I'm not sure if it makes sense to sign up for a social network when what I have works fine? If it's just for people getting in touch, email works fine, I think. I dunno. I'm weird.

strata 7 years ago

No, I think the same way. I also have a mastodon account, but don't ever use it.
