@atomicpoet I recommend a side journey to the web's earliest origins: #Gopherspace. Not joking, it informs where we are today. And there's an active community of retro-gopher servers. Exploring is fun. There's virtually no corporate presence. And the slight educational effort necessary to get on #Gopher is empowering.
I recommend trying to get to gopher://sdf.org or gopher://magical.fish
