- datadrivenangel 2y agoThis is wonderfully fun. Little moments of connection with people we'll never see again.

- shortrounddev2 2y agoVery cool, but should be bigger on desktop, it's hard to read
- brianzelip 2y agoThere's an expand button on the browser screen when you click on the laptop! So dope.
- nusl 2y agoI like the strange little chat function. It's quite cute and something I haven't seen before.
- TremendousJudge 2y agothis is great, well done to the author
- wafflez 2y agoGiving me strong The Palace chat vibes, didn't realize how much I missed that.
- sundarurfriend 2y agoThere seems to be a resurgence of the little old Web of yore, with webrings and website banner icons here, and a lot of young people making videos about neocities and other simple web things. Gives me hope for the Internet - maybe the real Web 3 was a conscious step back into Web 1.0 all along, with a bit more visual nicety to it. The tech stack and capabilities of the sites may be wildly different now, but in some way this captures the essence of the feel of the old Web to me.
- BriggyDwiggs42 2y agoI don’t want to be a downer but i just dont think the vast majority of the population is interested. Edit: I know everyone is having lot of fun with the short replies, but I’m not saying these sites are bad because most won’t use them. I’m saying that this movement cannot constitute a transition into a new internet with only a tiny minority of the userbase ever being involved. It’s fine to do it anyway, but it won’t fix the problems with the current one or fully replace it, and I wish that it would. I was only responding to the parent comment that this resurgence may represent a step back into web 1.0.
- natebc 2y agoTo be fair, they weren't back in the Web 1.0 days we all pine for either.
- Evidlo 2y agoThe vast majority wasn't interested before either. They just weren't as online.
- throw_pm23 2y agoAvoiding what the vast majority is interested in has always been a decent strategy.
- BriggyDwiggs42 2y agoWanting better for others is a basic human instinct, I think.
- nanna 2y agoCute and impressive but of course there's someone currently posting blatantly racist crap on it.
- znpy 2y agoi've learned to ignore that kind of things. giving such people attention and calling that out often only gives them "positive feedback".
- DrillShopper 2y ago[flagged]
- Rychard 2y agoIf you don't acknowledge them, they'll get bored and move on. They're only looking for attention, so your best weapon is to not give it to them. Definitely agree about it being cute/impressive. There's lots of clickables that further showcase things. Don't forget to explore!
- skhunted 2y agoWent to the site and saw “Nigger” floating around. Anonymity emboldens people. I guess this is why moderation is always needed.
- malet 2y agoCan’t type anything on iOS :(
- EarlKing 2y agoOH GOD, MY EYES. While I'm sure this was fun to make, it's a nightmare to use.
- tpoacher 2y agoOH GOD, MY EYES!!! [starry eyed emoji] While I'm sure this was a nightmare to make, it's fun to use! \o/
- gspencley 2y agoAll I want to know is who tf is Phil Fish and what are his campaign promises? (if the moment passes, when I checked out the website multiple people had typed messages along the lines of "vote for phil fish")
- dlbucci 2y agoHe's the game dev who made Fez, then famously decided to cancel Fez 2 after having some sort of break down (maybe over online abuse?). Not sure why we're voting for him though...
- gspencley 2y agoThanks!
- deleted 2y ago[deleted]
- justin_oaks 2y agoWhen I showed up, someone was writing "Cthulhu 2024!" I think we know what Cthulhu's campaign promises are.
- autoexec 2y agoI thought I'd never heard of him before today, but it turns out he was in a netflix movie about indie games I saw once. https://old.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/1dolrr/eli5why_is_phil_fish_developer_of_fez_under_so/ https://old.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/1dolrr/e... Reddit also says gamergate was upset because people who'd financially invested in his game company and/or were personal friends with him were also judges for the Independent Games Festival and he got an award from that. No idea if that's actually true though
- oatsandsugar 2y agoThis is so charming
- runjake 2y agoSuper neat and fun. A good experiment of how people behave when they think they're anonymous. Lots of NSFW, political, and other offensive text floating around the site. So if you're easily offended, perhaps skip it.
- NoxiousPluK 2y agoIt was very very wholesome when I visited just now :)
- dfilppi 2y ago[dead]
- RankingMember 2y agoWell that was fun for awhile until inevitably some anonymous coward started spamming racist nonsense
- Bjorkbat 2y agoKind of thrown off by the Phil Fish comments. Like, are we talking about the guy who made Fez? That Phil Fish? Is it 2012?
- darknavi 2y agoI was more thrown off by "WHO LICKS ASS ON THE FIRST DATE???". But yeah, Phil Fish was part of a decent amount of drama post-Fez.
- bigstrat2003 2y agoTo be fair... who does do that? Seems weird.
- water-data-dude 2y agoA gentleman.
- jonbrowne2 2y agoAn ultimate peak into true humanity. Most are polite. Others just want to get a reaction to prove they can make people feel SOMETHING. Really neat idea.
- greenavocado 2y agoAsymptotically approaching vr chat
- Slump 2y agoVery cute and charming, random offensive content from anonymous users not withstanding. I was pleasantly surprised that zooming with the browser works relatively well to help make things a bit clearer and easier to rid. I had to squint pretty hard by default.
