I’ve been exploring the fediverse and subbing and posting all over the damn place. Realizing lemmy can federate with kbin blew my mind. Not to mention the possibility of turning my old laptop into a personal server to host my own instance. Is this what it felt like to discover how the internet worked in the 90s?
Maaaan. The internet used to be a wacky place with all kind of over the top interface concepts. Now it’s all clean text and minimalist design. Far more functional but not nearly as fun or creative.
Modernism is in right now, I guess. Give it a decade and we’ll be busy rebelling against the tyranny of Helvetica again.
Laziness too, ain’t nobody got time to painstakingly hand-place and align each glittery Blingee graphic on a page while also making sure it’s responsive and user-friendly on all viewports. Just throw in the default TailwindCSS styles and forget about it.
I feel conflicted about it because its definitely more accessible, especially to those with disabilities like epilepsy now.
You should visir neocities, it is filled with all sorts of weird and fun websites.
