Oh my, my, i wholehearty thank you, mister Skeltal, for your appearance before the bone-and-calcium-deprived body of mine.

May your everyday routine be forever full of happiness and luck, in whatever crap you are doing as a trumpet skelton of the abyss.

Until next time 😘

Now that's what i call a flex of your technological power between tradition and modernity. Fantastic performance.

Random thought, I know it's still better to not have wars at all, but future wars would be nicer and more fair if losing meant receiving a knock-out kick in yo nuts from a martial art master robot instead of being killed by random boring drones.

Waow, quite a collection you got here. I don't really have a website where i maintain such list, so i will say some from my selection:

• nadeko.net This person hosts a lot of various services and knows his stuff while keeping it otaku enough.
• Frutiger aero archive I wouldn't say i'm too much of a nostalgic person, but the owner is incredibly nice and the archive quality and dedication is golden.
• tane.us (does it counts?) the website speaks for itself.
• tengu.space this person has good tastes and a nice website selection.

Also, some others: pixelde.su - lavenderfield - dinpixels.neocities.org

Maybe i'll add some later.

Hell yeah, an Akatsuki Records enjoyer!

Well, pleroma is kind of like a blend between 2010 imageboards and mastodon, it's kinda small and nice depending on which instance you are. Its used by a lot of personal website thanks to its low weight, and is popular among small independant web creators. You'll rarely see instance with more than 100 users. Biggest one i've found is https://udongein.xyz/.

Misskey is more or less the same thing, but mainly focused on a japanese audience from what i've seen, with a flashy DUI and a large focus on user customisation with profile picture stickers, statuses, colored fonts, badges, and custom emojis. Biggest misskey instance i've found is misskey.io .

Both are fun, but they are more focused on communities/sharing than politics/news/real world (except misskey on some cases for... japanese reasons). Their smallness also tend to favor circlejerking behavior, but i guess that's an inner principle of the world wide web. They are worth the try.

Making comics is a better way to archive the events from the age of cyberlegends than big old bricks of text that no one except nerds will have the courage to read, in my opinion.

I hope someone will have the strengh to archive tales from the fediverse in this way for the future cybernauts. But theses arts of making comics from the world wide web events seem to have been lost to time unfortunately.

internet does remembers

@TwirlyTaco@aus.social Good question.

Yes, I believe that the real world is too much tied to the use of internet for everything. Earlier in the millenia, you wouldn't use the web as much as today. A few dozens websites and you were "done with the internet for today". Now, it's almost the norm to see people being online for more than 3 hours a day.

The abundance of content and the consequent rush for fame on social media enhanced the doom scrolling phenomenon. Social media, getting money from selling advertisments, are becoming giant and normalized among youth. And the cycle continues.

Also, with social media, people started putting their life online, until it became the norm. Anonymity became less accepted, until it was portrayed as an "incel thing" and confined to the edges of the web. (Although, i think meeting new people from all horizons online is more beneficial to one's culture than chatting with you friends living 5km away.)

Yeah, I think the proper way to use internet is to use it with a goal in mind. "Why do I want to get online today? Do I want to learn new things, meet new people, have a fruitful debate with someone, or am I simply doing it because I'm bored and wants to entertain myself?"

It should just be a tool. A tool with endless potential, to use responsibly.

Ah, neocities, had a site there for some time, it's very good. It truely revives the feeling of "surfing on the web" that geocities gave with thoses 88x31 buttons, thoses flashy gifs and thoses bright colors everywhere.

It was at around 600000 websites not long ago and got beyond 1 million recently, seems like it's blowing up in popularity (I hope for the better).
