Esta página se define como "una carta de amor al viejo internet" y consiste en un collage de gif animados, fondos e incluso sonidos recopilados de páginas web personales de finales de los noventa y principios de los dosmiles.
Yo no la conocía y es una maravilla.

Boing Boing: You can still use plain text email—and maybe you should. “If you’re old enough to remember why you resisted the move away from plain text email, you might be pleased to know there’s precious little to stop you going back. Use plain text email is the plainly-named website that explains how. You don’t have to use Alpine (pictured above)—there are modern options!” Ah, the days […]
"That #oldinternet feeling.
Not the dial-up speed or the clunky UIs or the hours spent waiting for downloads to finish — but the vibe. The sense of freedom, curiosity, and ownership. The thrill of customising things just because you could. The joy of getting your hands dirty with tech.
I thought that era had ended. Turns out, it’s still there. You just have to #builditback yourself."

✨ New blog post: “Back to the Old Internet: A Personal Reboot”
Switching to Linux. Self-hosting. Fossifying my phone.
I thought the old internet was gone — turns out, it just needed a reboot.

✨ Just a quick note to say… thank you 💜
My little blog post about joining Mastodon (and today’s ode to the #OldInternet) really seemed to resonate — which makes me so happy 🥹
I’ve felt nothing but warmth and good vibes since arriving here. Slower, kinder, more human. Just what I needed.
Thanks for the welcome, the boosts, the replies, and the follows 🥰

My Gaymers+ #Webring got SOME attention on here, and is taking off on Tumblr (I literally paid to Boost it 🔥)… but no one has contacted me about joining, yet.
This took way too much time and effort for me to just… quietly delete it, in a few weeks' time.

Why is my first video on BitView not showing up? BitView says it's being processed but it's been more than a day and it's still the same. Have any of you who have uploaded videos to BitView ever experienced the same problem?

I’ve now posted on my blog about the Community Information Network from a couple of weeks ago.

Thank you again for everyone who reached out to me for tips, information and even just boosting the post.
I am hoping to post again soon, this time detailing my Internet journey since first going online. Might be another memory trip for some people for some of the ISPs that no longer exist :)
Just so you know, if you do an idealistic/#solarpunk #medium post about "the #OldInternet" or "the #SmallWeb" or about how capitalism and corps are making the internet a dry/dead/homogeneous/soulless place there's a good chance medium will insert an "upgrade to paid" button in the middle of it
Didn't realise that Hype Machine turns 20 this week. They shared this clip in their newsletter and watching it a moment ago almost made me crumble into dust. :blobsweats:
Alguien recuerda el Imesh??????
Is there a new drama on SpaceHey that I missed? I rarely open SpaceHey lately.

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.
