A veces echo de menos la época dorada de los foros. Recuerdo ser muy activo en el de la web IndiceDonkey, allí hice buenos amigas/os de quienes no sabía ni su nombre real, pero recuerdo perfectamente sus avatares y firmas. Gente como Donkeyro, Supertoni, Pam... a saber qué será de estas personas.
Hicimos juegos de rol, videojuegos personalizados del foro, recopilaciones de música y mil cosas más…
Yo utilizaba de avatar esta animación de Lobezno (Wolverine).
The early web was a wild, experimental playground. Hand-coded personal websites, bizarre niche forums, and communities driven by passion instead of profit. GeoCities pages, webrings, and weird Flash experiments made the internet feel like an uncharted frontier, where creativity thrived and users had real control.
Now, it's a sanitized, ad-driven wasteland. Social media giants dictate what we see, algorithms push engagement over exploration, and independent sites struggle to survive against walled gardens. The dream of a free and open internet has been swallowed by a handful of companies, turning the once-decentralized web into a corporate-controlled echo chamber.
The open web isn’t dead. It's just buried beneath algorithms and ads. Dig deeper.
Użyłam "Wiby" (Taka strona, która wyszukuje star strony o których świat zapomniał) i natrafiłam na to... Tak wiele pytań...
I yearn to be 20 years ago and just be on a little hobbyist gardening message board that people casually chat and share on.
ROMANCEPLANET - DANCE (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO) is kinda sick!!
Sim, isso mesmo, eu jogo Habbo hotel em 2025 (por nostalgia mesmo).

This is a great video by @EposVox which has me re-motivated to get back to my blogging and wanting to get back publishing on sites like this one.
Randomly remembered this video today:
Beware, gentle internet wanderer!
Visit the 11ty site of Jason Velasquez with caution and humility, or like me, you may find yourself launched on a hero's journey down a bunny trail into a magic garden.
You may wake hours -- or days? -- later exclaiming, "Who am Eye"?
And, "Where have Eye been"?
And, "How long was Eye gone"?

... Need to go through and clear out 25 years worth of Bookmarks from Chrome/Edge/Firefox and reorganize at the Nextcloud Book mark app.
... Wonder how many still work or are worth keeping.
Looks like CNN finally took down their old O J Simpson trial page:
Seems they did it fairly recently too, the last wayback machine capture was in July this year: https://web.archive.org/web/20240000000000*/https://edition.cnn.com/US/OJ/
I just learned about Honk, a barebones #ActivityPub microblogging implementation. It's super lightweight, doesn't support likes, and reminds me of the old internet in a very charming and silly way.
The creator @tedu has a "flagship instance" at honkasaurus.world. It looks like it will let you sign up, but I couldn't figure out how.
Anyway, just thought that was a fun little thing to share

Do you know where the term "spam" comes from? 
It all started with SPAM, the canned meat! 
Thanks to a 1970 Monty Python sketch where diners were overwhelmed by chanting "SPAM," 
the term became linked to unwanted emails. 
Now, the iconic SPAM can is even a meme for digital clutter!
