@Cal @Bright5park Browser support alone on WinXP I think would prevent people staying on it... What we take for granted with our current browsers just doesn't exist on WinXP supported versions, and iirc there's some significant missing browser security features in terms of client/server connections that'd make most major sites unusable.

@stonebear there are certainly 'ai url blocklist's out there. Whether they exactly match your usecase you'd have to take a look. Usual caveats on verifying/trusting the list maintainer(s) etc.

eg:
https://github.com/laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist
https://codeberg.org/fausty/AIBlocklist

GitHub - laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist: A huge blocklist of manually curated sites that contain AI generated imagery for uBlock Origin & uBlacklist.

@sysopod reminds me of Hiveworks Comics https://www.hiveworkscomics.com/ . I think the distinction there is that there's still a more centralised small group of deciders of who's in and who's out, compared to the looser way webrings were in the early 00's.

@sysopod "a podcast network" generally has two meanings. It's usually A) a group of some sort that puts out a number of podcasts, like the McElroys or LRR, or B) a large distributor of podcasts like Apple, Libsyn, PodBean etc.
@sysopod substack to my understanding is at it's core a mailing list. One subscribes to a substack, and gets emailed things. What those emails contain can vary widely, but that's it's essence.
@adanufgail A recent example that might interest is X suspending it's Grok AI training due to exchanges with the Irish data protection commission that they sit under https://www.dataprotectionreport.com/2024/08/recent-regulatory-developments-in-training-artificial-intelligence-ai-models-under-the-gdpr/
@Cal ah! but not all HTML is equal, and there are different versions of it; and how you want your page interpreted by the browser is what's being determined by the presence (or lack of) and the settings of the doctype declaration (examples https://www.w3.org/QA/2002/04/valid-dtd-list.html ) It's all about removing ambiguity.
