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?

    100% agree. I work in web and I hate the trend of SEO-bait articles. They’re largely totally unhelpful, too! I bet you could still find that blog, though, with enough time – if you remember anything about it, that is!

      I remembered a lot better in college and I absolutely could not find it. I’m convinced the blog isn’t hosted anymore or something

      SEO-bait is the result of search engines and the prioritization of long form text over relevant hits. The internet has existed before search engines, and will exist long after they’re replaced with something else.
