A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 1 day agogod what I wouldnt give to go back to the days of the mid 90s, when the internet was nothing more than a collection of tech weirdos, with websites being nothing more than passion projects with no advertising, no SEO, no search engines, etc etc.

Nothing, really.
We’re the only ones stopping ourselves. The 90s and everything that made is ‘great’ is still here, we just choose not to use it.

Tried a few searches. “no results”. Oh well
