My letter to the FTC explaining how Google is using AI to censor thousands of independent websites - and to control the flow of information online.

      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.

        https://url.town/ and https://curlie.org/ for example

        Yeah, but this only works because we are so few still, when the masses floods in anywhere, everything turns to shit. Because of greed

            Easy, it’s actually hard enough to join Lemmy in comparison to the other sites, that I don’t believe the masses will ever flood here.

            That isn’t necessarily a bad thing, althought I still have to follow my favourite projects on discord and reddit . Since they are publishing for the masses

      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.
