How can we get old web back? Anonymous 07/25/2025 (Fri) 12:23:27 No. 23735
Neocities has been lobotomized for the past 4 years or so... It went from genuine old web revival to radically left slop and "Kawaii" hyperpop mix of colors and visuals. 4Chan is not much better now as they aren't even letting me post. How do we get old web back?
>>23735 archive.org The old web is never coming back. It was born from a different generation with different values and different technology. Some onion sites look old though
>>23735 You have to realize the internet is about sperging out. It seems one side is full of troons and the other complains about current thing without having a hobby himself. Ultimately, you should stop focusing on the bad things and find a topic you like. Maybe you will inspire based sites, who knows?
>>23735 Leftoids love to flood those kind of platforms/websties and shit them up. It's the equivalent of reddit commies drive by posting on 4chan/8chan with the goal of taking over the sites.
>>23735 cy-x.net is your only solution and this is very simple Zoomies can't into properly reviving the web. Take this site which is managed by people who actually know what oldfaggotry is like. 'Unraidable'. This is the kind of autism that I appreciate: >?mode=topic&id=150 >You can't just pretend that you're 'nostalgic for the old internetz' when you sit on Discord as your primary online communication vector, paying for Nitro (and subsequently rewarding them for their centralization and privacy violating efforts) and only consume your content through massive conglomerates who will never go back to their olden ways.. >And additionally, just to add onto that, why do these people think these large companies even cared about them in the first place? They were bad then and they will be bad now, with plenty of evidence and simple research that someone can find on their own to prove it. However, Zoomers will not know this information in the first place, because they were small children. >They will not care about that information, either, because LARPING matters more than being accurate to the source material, as long as they can be given affirmation from others for it. >They aren't nostalgic for any sense of community or gathering, they're nostalgic for when they were small children looking at shiny web icons. They don't appreciate the technological designs behind it nor do they desire to actually drop modern ones for the ones of old; They can only see the very surface of what they're after.
>>23740 I agree with this sentiment. I browse neocities and when I encounter tranny sites... yeah, they look embarrassing but I can't stop thinking this isn't fundamentally different from that guy with a Card Captor Sakura themed blog 25 years ago. I bet most people found my shitty blogs and youtube page from when I was a teenager awkard. And I know, it's dumb to regard sexual identities the same way as fandoms but it's what it is at a fundamental level (I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one with this observation). I honestly do not understand why people like OP have so much trouble ignoring the things they don't like from the internet, for me it's pretty easy, that's the first thing I learned when I started browsing the internet aside from "don't express publicly what you don't like, otherwise people will post it just to spite on you". >>23748 Honestly the guy sounds like a pedantic pessimist (and I wouldn't be surprised if he's also a teenager larping as older). Nobody is born with the idea of what internet should be, otherwise he's implying all the people working on outside-big-tech sites are doing it because of nostalgia and nothing else. You have to teach younger generations how internet should be run and why and that's a doable. Regarding forums, I've been setting up a home server and I've browsing a lot official forums from the projects I'm implemeting, namely Kodi and Openmediavault, they are pretty cool, a lot of people who actually know about computers.
>Neocities has been lobotomized for the past 4 years nigga its been fucked ever since tumblr laid down their porn ban and hypnospace outlaw and ena made geocities an 'Aesthetics Wikia' category.
>>23735 By connecting with people who remember it. Lots of 4chan old fags on mlpol.net
>>23735 It's still around. There's a growing "smol web" (their/thems word, not mine) fed by the current generation of "not like other girls" who aren't popular enough for instagram and want to larp as 2000s emo kids. It fucking sucks because it's 70% blogs abandoned before their creators added anything and 30% moody teenagers quoting the Unabomber and pondering their gender, but I think it's still important because it's the only place I've seen a significant population of non-"computer people" actually trying to get off FAGMAN. Anyway, if you really want the old web back, you need to advertise it to normies. Are you sure you want them?
>>23735 >How can we get old web back? Meh, don't want it. Bring back Gopher!
>>23735 You can help by thinking worthwhile thoughts, typing them in, and publishing on your web site. >>23748 The site begs for crypto. At least there's no JS.
let the past go faggot
>>23735 not possible on the clearnet - too many HR hags, gays, soydevs and pajeets
>>23735 The only way to get back to old is to give up big online communities and make your own site/blog/forum
>>23735 >Neocities has been lobotomized for the past 4 years or so It was always lobotomized. And having trannies pages at their front page is a huge proof of if.
