He suggests flânerie to revisit the old internet, suggesting that's how we used it. But are enthusiasts working for their own fun on the spectrum between getting-things-done and strolling? Joy in creation can be anywhere in there.
- Kaibeezy 6y agoMy sense is there’s a lot of it out there, but it’s buried pages down in the search results. It takes sensitivity and knowledge of a subject to pick the gems out of the haystack. I really wonder if there are search parameters that could help sort for what you’re describing.
- readflaggedcomm 6y agoYes, before search engines stopped working so well, perhaps to defeat spam, it was a lot easier to stumble on something valuable. It's sad to think there are kids out there with only a narrow view of the huge web that they can find from a cold search. Before search engines worked well, we had link directories and web rings. Maybe enthusiast-oriented federated or p2p servers will become the same thing. There are already a few Youtubers headed in that way (e.g. EEVblog and Defpom publishing on Lbry). Rebuilding the tree-lined avenues that succumbed to jungle, I guess.
