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

https://blog.tribesmanjohn.au/2025/05/remembering-the-community-information-network/

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:

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.

I miss the old days of the internet where I'd just spend hours reading fellow, but more knowledgeable, #horror fans on their personally run sites giving factoids or reviews or descriptions of various films in #slasher franchises and the like.

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.

I'm still waiting for those who haven't accepted my friend requests to them on Offline (an SNS).

Lol, at least someone replied to my message in this room on Xat. It's not anonymous but it feels very anonymous, damn like in those days.

This is me on Xat:

Chat rooms were so popular back then in 1990s and 2000s, I still remember the experience even though at that time I could only feel a little bit at the end of its popularity in the early 2010s. Somehow I still use some of the remaining chat rooms from 1990s and 2000s like Chat-Avenue or Paltalk.
