The web is shrinking and is mostly taken up by bots and AI content.
With web space cheaper then ever, and revival projects like Geocities, we have the power to reinvent the old web.
Consider also using Usenet and IRC, both of which can be accessed for free in some form. Usenet can be accessed via free clients like Thunderbird and free providers like Eternal September. IRC can be accessed via Hex chat, quessle, or IRSSI and connecting to the libre.chat node. However there are many ways to connect to IRC that are all free, including rich options that allow for images and customisation. For IRC you will need a bouncer to maintain your connection, and many of these bouncers can save your chat logs.
This Website was started to help others, as well as myself, revive the old web, and bring back the old days of the internet free of advertising, bots, AI, and censorship. The internet was built of the back of scientists who truely belived in freedom of access and sharing infomation for all, and many would probably turn in their graves at the thought of what it has become.
