We're in this with lots of other cool stuff!
"The webring that Another Subculture belongs to now has 20 members, and we've all put together a mixtape. Takes me right back to my indie blog days, which you are not allowed to read."

🤔 This is *not* a good look.
Is Bing actively trying to stifle the #indieWeb & the #smallWeb ? Who knows!
Regardless - what you can do:
- pick a different search engine if you are using Bing. #Qwant and #Startpage (and #DuckDuckGo - see note below) come to mind as great first picks.
- start up your own little #indieWeb #smallWeb site! Share what you like. It doesn't have to be complicated. A small blog, a digital garden.
- seek out #webrings, share content from small/indie sites that you enjoy!
update - see interesting notes from other users re: DuckDuckGo, which claims to at least partially use Bing, but shows NeoCities in results.
What do we do now that search engines no longer work ?
Bring back webrings ?? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webring
Are there any other ways to find good content that don't rely on mega corps ?
#WeekNotes 004 is out on #BurgeonLab
📆 2025: Week 47/52
[Nov 17 – 23]
✍️ https://burgeonlab.com/weeknotes/2025/w47/
Another late week note... I'll definitely try to write one earlier this week! Week 47 is all about #Indieweb! There's #IRC, #webrings, #webmentions and a smattering of links I came across.
Saw that my css joy webring neighbor has a guest book. Pretty cool! :) now I want to say hi to other neighbors…
@taatm @molly0xfff the Web1.0 (pre Web2.0 of corporate walled gardens) solution was simple: RSS/email lists + webrings.
it should be adopted by the coming Web1.0+ - a de-centralized, federated internet, ran for and by People, often self-hosted, where corporations do NOT control what we see or can do and access, but now with obscenely fast broadband and stupid powerful processors, running on FOSS =D
Webrings are alive and well. I have proof!
