  The Internet Used to be a Place

  There are still active webrings:

  sadgrl.online webring directory digilord.neocities.org/webring webringworld.org brisray webring list

    And there’s still web directories hanging around, similar to the now dead dmoz site.

    url.town and curlie.org for example

  I seek out out-of-the-way websites maintained by one or two people and then subscribe by RSS. RSS may be the only thing left keeping the web sane.

    I remember seeing a few days ago that Microsoft would be closing down its Bing API. I wonder how DDG will handle that.

  Like a block chain - like system where each site gets listed.

    Oh Hells no, no blockchain. Like AI, its worthless, beyond extremely inefficient, and people have been desperately trying to cram it into everything where it doesn’t belong.

    Search doesn’t need a block chain.

    I’m imagining more a federated system, like Lemmy. Currently it aggregates posts from different servers, I can see these servers actively spiderii the Internet and together making a whole.
