I miss the old internet, before big centralised social media hubs took over, when the small web WAS the web, when forums and blogs were popular, when the internet actually felt social and not just a bunch of algorithms feeding me slop.

So I made it a goal this year to branch out and spend a bit less time on Reddit and Youtube. I’ve created Mastodon, Piefed, and Matrix accounts, and I’m even working on a cheesy little neocities page (though my CSS skills suck).

I’ve only been here for a day or so now but I like it so far. Feels refreshing and I hope places like this become the future of the internet.

So hey all :) Hope you’re also all liking it here, and welcome to any fellow newbies!
