      Right?! The Internet is full of cool shit still.

      It’s so often depressing on Lemmy, with the same few sad/angry people shitting on everything. Break out of your bubble and go explore. Find joy again.

        I think what you are calling toys are what I would call addictions. They can get innovative with finding ways to access those addictions, but really they just want that mind numbing, repetative flashing lights and noises. Anything to shut down and avoid thinking, like a bunch of zombies.

        Sorry. That’s just the rant of a 7th grade teacher.

    While there are still cool places to explore in the internet, yeah, it sucks that people help to spread the same tending things. I think platforms like Meta, Google, etc. are the culprit. They hook people into their so-called ecosystems and people just can’t see the cage they are inviting others to inhabitate.

    BTW, do people still meet online and get married from random chats?

    Please, make a website. Open notepad, write some jank html, and be proud of it. It literally doesn’t matter what you put on it, comics, a blog, I don’t care, just make a website, make a little corner of the internet for yourself.

    Neocities, the Fediverse, and Gemini Protocol sites are where I spend the vast majority of my online free-time, and it’s so much more pleasant than the big corporate slop websites

        Neocities.org is pretty straightforward it’s a revival of Geocities. People make personal websites or sites for their weird niche interests. It has a very minor social media component where you can ‘follow’ people’s sites, and you get updates when they get edited.

        Gemini is a web protocol, like HTTP, but it’s text focused, and geared towards non-corporate, hobbyist use. It has a mirror of Wikipedia, its own search engines, a BBS board, etc. To access it you’d need a special web browser. I happen to really like Lagrange

          I don’t get what inherent corporate use the https protocol itself has but thanks for the info dump. I’ll take a look. Especially since I even nvere herad of Geocities before.
