  • 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.
