Yo, a couple years ago I had become fed up with the state of the modern Internet, and I started looking for alternatives. This is what I have found so far:
- Gopher protocol (sdf.org is pretty active)
- Gemini protocol (Modern version of gopher)
- Shared UNIX systems (also called tildes) sdf.org is great!
- RSS
- IRC/Matrix to chat with people
- Session messenger to chat with family
- BBSes via syncterm
- wiby.me and marginalia.nu search engines to find personal web sites
- oldavista.com to browse the ‘Old Net’
- Web forums
- Neocities
- Webrings (They still exist!)
- Lemmy (This is a new one)
The next step for me will be to build my own personal site. The only way to keep the independent web alive is to participate in it.
I’ve noticed this too. Most of the stuff on Reddit’s frontpage has an angry undertone. Anger = Engagement.
