@oluOnline I feel optimistic as we’re creating our own spaces with like minded people across all types of skill levels to get together and chat about making websites together over at the Cafe https://32bit.cafe

Each week we have new people jumping on, some with no experience who end up with their own website within a couple of weeks.

Small communities like ours make me optimistic for the web ☺️

@oluOnline people. It’s always the people

@oluOnline beyond all enshittification efforts, the “good old web” lives on. It's very hard for web tech to actually die: even when it goes into disuse, there are corners of the internet that stick to it, keep it alive, and improve on it, and when the shitty platform of the decade will have passed, the strongholds of independence will still be there.

@oluOnline That linkbacks ala tumblr did not automatically solve information organization and curation, which will always require a human touch to emerge new knowledge. There is no auto-zettelkasten.

@oluOnline i'm gonna wait and read some of the other replies before saying anything, except to say now this is the kinda question that has the potential to get the whole fedi worked up and not let your notifications rest for days

@oluOnline Peopke will flock to proprietary systems because they offer something new and flashy, but only open standards will still be there a decade or more later.
