Joined the Generation Lissa! webring
The Generation Lissa! webring is for people who learned how to build their own personal websites with code between the years of 1996 and 2005, and still run a personal space on the Internet.
Webrings help to keep the web alive
Small hand-cafted, non commercial websites are almost impossible to discover.
The web gets demolished by the demise of the search engines and the embrace of untrustworthy, useless AI-generated results, optimistically referred to as "AI-powered".
Search engines prioritize large domains with commercial content. The web is swamped with "SEO-optimized" content and AI-generated slob.
Personal blogs, art pages, and other hand-crafted websites practically never turn up in search results.
The best way to fight this, is to restore the wanderability of the early web: Create links between websites and make following these links fun.
Embrace webrings
The blogosphere made the web a place of personal expression. The current craze is massive delivery of shallow, meaningless content.
Webrings bring back the joy of surfing. They encourage you to explore, and frequently lead you to unexpected discoveries. The visitors drift through a community instead of being funneled by billionaire’s dark algorithms.
The open web needs you
Website creators require motivation and inspiration. Without visitors, homemade websites may go neglected.
- If you have a website, join a webring. Or maybe more than one.
- When visiting a website, follow the webring links, and see what happens.
