"In this way, the death of being very online goes a lot further than just the dissemination of meme culture and the lack of inside internet jokes. It reflects the lack of space for genuine interaction and meaningful communities online right now, something that was once considered to be one of the main plus sides of social media."

been feeling like this a lot lately ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The age of being 'very online' is over. Here's why.

We've lost our sense of online community.

***should i keep doing this weekly internet roundup cast? the ritual scheduling feature is kind of broken so i've been having to manually make the post every week. and with the incentive structure of warpcast now, it seems like ppl would rather root cast/quote cast than reply anyways ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

one of my favorite online archives from when i was little is back

"A year ago, we decided to shutter UbuWeb. Not really shutter it, per se, but instead to consider it complete. After nearly 30 years, it felt right. But now, with the political changes in America and elsewhere around the world, we have decided to restart our archiving and regrow Ubu. In a moment when our collective memory is being systematically eradicated, archiving reemerges as a strong form of resistance, a way of preserving crucial, subversive, and marginalized forms of expression. We encourage you to do the same. All rivers lead to the same ocean: find your form of resistance, no matter how small, and go hard. It's now or never. Together we can prevent the annihilation of the memory of the world."

"We invite the users to realize the essential role they play on the Internet: when they start their own website, when they send comments, criticisms or warm letters to the webmasters, when they exchange tips and hints in the newsgroups or by e-mail, they provide an independent and free source of information that others would like to sell and control."

"I read a comment on one of your posts that said, “this helps me realize that if I just put my phone away for a while, a lot of stuff feels exactly the same way it did 20 years ago.” There’s a longing for a time when going online felt like an option or a destination, now it's this ambient thing that everyone is a part of."

"Today, there are more websites than ever before, but the internet somehow feels more constrained. While new tools have democratized the web, they’ve also flattened it. The imperfect, handmade character of websites has been sanded away in favor of efficiency, and social media platforms have risen in the stead of amateur sites. Many of us conform to these containers and retreat from expressing our authentic selves publicly"

There’s a resurgence of small, handcrafted sites challenging the current trajectory of the internet. Joining the movement is as simple as making your own.
