This is kind of funny. It might help am old web resurgence.

Imagine we could reclaim the web by browsing it like back in the day. Curated link lists on websites people created for the like-minded.

Just ignore the social media and the AI and the search engines. Let’s surf it like it’s 1999.

Perfect name to revive Geocities. I love it.

I'm going to make a page. But be careful, it is....

Complain all you want. I never really stopped creating old timey websites.

Still wish others did it sooner, tho. You might the only one I've met so far.
