Honestly, I think we have a discovery problem.
There's plenty of room for both groups. In a way the internet is limitless. A lot of that weirdness still exists, it's just incredibly hard to find.
- CobrastanJorji 4y agoThat's a good point. I'd love to find a small chatroom full of a couple dozen strangers who share my interests, and many thousands of such chatrooms surely exist, but I'd never find one unless I had a friend point me to it.
- jacooper 4y agoI mean, you and me and many other are here on HN, so I think close enough?
- Cr4shMyCar 4y agoThat weirdness does still exist, whether it's kept up from a long time ago or people making brand-new weird stuff. I got into making a site on Neocities, essentially a modern Geocities equivalent, a while back after a friend told me about it. I didn't end up sticking with it too long, but I found so many gloriously weird personal sites, projects, shrines, zines, and fan pages.
- jacooper 4y agoQuick question, what makes Neocities different than Cloudflare/GitHub/GitLab/Codeberg/x Pages? Its just like any static page hosting right? The selling point is its open source?(Codeberg and GitLab are open source.)
