Ha! World Wide Woods... I like that a lot!
Like you, I also moved from the city to the deep dark forest almost a decade ago. I live off-grid in a yurt in Vermont surrounded my forested mountains and next to a beautiful waterfall-filled brook. I love the peace and tranquility here, but being so isolated from humanity can sometimes increase the temptation to just dive onto the web and seek out spaces where people congregate. I've found that focusing on text-first protocols like Gemini and Gopher or trying to browse parts of the Smol Web with a text-mode browser like eww is a great way to find interesting little communities off the beaten path. There the people seem much more genuine and happy, and I don't find engaging with these spaces to be particularly addictive. Just like the Midnight Pub here. I stop in most days for 15-20 minutes, and then go on to other things. Anyway, I think it's time for me to head on out to my day job. I'll probably stop by the Midnight again in a day or two for another drink and nice chat.
Cheers!
