There is a joy in sharing, but is it really sharing if we're shouting into the void? People want to be part of a community, even if it's just a tiny one. We need that part of the web back.
- ryacko 7y agoI think that has changed to the off topic or memes channel of a Discord server.
- cameronbrown 7y agoWhen I mean the web, I really mean the open web. Not Discord. Maybe I'm just nostalgic for how it used to be.
- rikroots 7y agoMost of my personal websites shout into the void. Their content is so niche (poems, conlangs, web coding experiments, etc) that I would be genuinely surprised if any of them suddenly got popular. I keep on doing my personal sites because I love creating stuff, and I love coding up quirky sites to display my mad work to those rare whoevers out there who share my niche interests and/or stumble across them by accident. Building quirky websites is also a good way for me to relax because the sort of sites I get to work on professionally - almost always driven by this or that CMS or framework ... they don't inspire me anymore: samey samey samey stuff with just a tiny odd fun effect here'n'there.
