I know it's easy to get down on the web, but I've seen so many cool projects and blogs and personal sites and attempts to (re?)build a more human web free of corporate social media and the enshittified part of the web...

It's giving me hope that we can build an Alternative Web. The People's Web. Free of AI bullshit, free of advertisements and tracking and all that crap so many of us just do not want.

@rasterweb The only part that bothers me is that a name like “The People’s Web” or “Indie Web” abdicates ownership over “the web”. Like, we built the web. It’s ours. The slop machines and engagement mills should be the outsiders.

Or as Michael Bolton put it, “Why should I change? He’s the one who sucks.”
