I can't decide if they are really coming back, or if they never really went away - just that veneer was over it - the big platforms were getting our attention and we collectively forgot how to surf the web.
It's totally fine that platforms exist for those who aren't interested in building their own places on the web.
Maybe it is coming back some, because the current social media mess is helping a new generation to see beyond the feeds, and try their own hand at building the web.
@sarajw I hope so!

The Boring Internet
The internet you grew up on isn't dying. A commercial veneer glued on top of it is. A visual essay about the protocols, federations, and quiet machinery underneath everything you actually use.

Yessss @tg - this echoes what I've been thinking lately, but put in much more depth and eloquence than I could have managed.

@sarajw @tg there's so much amazing stuff to go through, and I don't want to miss any - my bookmarks are full of cool stuff. When I have time and motivation.. haha - but I did start writing some, it's tough to resist making a whole site for a reference, but so many of those exist - I think it's mostly about organizing what I have and trying to not make the blog post too long, but also avoiding perfection and eventually to just pump it OUT!

@sarajw @tg that's true. I've actually been thinking about changing around the links of https://oldtimeywebportal.neocities.org some to reflect it, too.
