Probably isn’t a hot take here, or be the first to say this, but I’m getting super sick of the big web. It all feels so artificial, like everything is just done for money and nothing else, and the regular people on social media are just doing things for clout and the memes are samey, make no sense or just generally not funny at all. It all feels so fake.
The only area I go on the web nowadays by choice are Neocities/Wiby.me sites. Good to at least see a community on the web trying to keep what creativity and thrill of exploration there is on the web alive.

I am fascinated by the webring the people from merveilles.town use for their websites; they even have a search engine just for themselves. · 2 years ago
There's always going to be "little house on the (digital) prairie" places on the big web, but by their nature it is extremely hard to seek them out. · 2 years ago
@kensanata Yeah, I know what you mean. It feels inescapable sometimes. · 2 years ago
Some days I feel like at home all I ever visit are the following: fediverse instances, my website (often I just use Gemini, though), and … that's it. Sometimes I follow links and end up in front of huge cookie warnings or newsletter pop-ups and often I'll just close the window in frustration. How annoying it has all become. · 2 years ago
