  How about a tl;dw for people who can read?

    There’s a website tool hosted on neocities that’s attempting to become a geocities revival.

    The video is functionally an ad for the community and the associated Web building tools.

    Another walled garden, right in line with Web 2.0, but with a 90s pastiche done up in HTML5. Reminds me a bit of the Vaporwave style that flared up in the mid-10s.

      Another walled garden

      Not sure if you meant it this way, but Walled garden usually means ‘Closed Platform’, like a way to trap users. But the video is encouraging the construction of websites that can easily be self-hosted, which is the opposite of a walled garden.

    This is the videos community. Are you lost?

      Yeah as much as I prefer reading about things like this it is a bit silly to complain about it when it’s literally posted in a video-oriented community.

    Theres a number of websites that he goes through. Its going to be hard to describe.

    Lots of neocities but not all of the links are.

    Certainly ironic, given the context.

    But how else are you going to reach the normies?

  this post is copied from digg 2.0(shame that never really took off) by @garyonline: I really like Ye Olde Blogroll for finding indie blogs (blogroll.org)

  Cloudhiker.net and Kagi’s Small Web (kagi.com/smallweb) are two really cool Stumbleupon clones.

  Micro.blog and bearblog.dev both have great communities too, if you’re into blogging.
