The OldWeb

I thought the point of the “bring back the oldweb” movement was to express yourself in a corporate wasteland.

On Geocities archives, there were personal sites, religious sites, dumb ideology sites, whatever you could think of, honestly.

they were interesting because the people were interesting. now everything looks the same, websites are all made for the same reasons, with the same topics. Everyone feels like the same type of person.

i’ve seen people ‘suggest’ you delete what makes your site unique. if they hate your politics, or just what they assume are your politics, they’ll mass report you offsite.

back then etiquette was different. you’d get insults, hate, whatever, but it seemed that the sites got to stay up.

what’s the point of calling it a movement if we mass report anything that criticizes us? Or that we personally don’t like? either every site has the right to exist within reason, or none do.
