Comment on Welcome to the web we lost

I’ve been thinking a lot about webrings lately. Now that Google is basically cutting off traffic from the indie web.
I feel like everyone’s kinda having the same idea at the same time, which gives me some hope, but… it’s difficult enough to find a ring to join, that I think most people will give up?
I don’t know what I think the solution is. Centralising it and having a big, user-friendly “webring platform” is just inviting more enshittification. But the handful of webring directories I’ve found are really lacking.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Or, does anyone want to team up and make, like, a Gaymers Webring? (That’s pretty much what I’m looking for.)

domain cliques, webrings, forums, and guestbooks were wonderful and they should come back
