The Small Website Discoverability Crisis
I like this author's idea of curating bookmark lists, but I think they are most effective when two criteria are followed: (1) keep the list small, (2) write small notes about each entry.
For example, the bookmarks list the author links to (https://www.marginalia.nu/links/bookmarks/) has 48 URLs annotated only by category. That's too many for my tiny brain to handle and I move on.
A webring like Hundred Rabbits' (https://webring.xxiivv.com/) has 203 entries. For me, this is in the same category as 48. (It also reminds me of those "Awesome X" lists on GitHub that end up flooded with hundreds of links.)
To attempt an example of what I mean, here's the bookmark list I publish on my website:

Why Are Anarchists & Leftists So Averse to Tech?
We're out here, just not in your workplace. Poke around in more decentralized tech spaces like federated social media and self-hosting groups. Talk to free software people, find local users' groups. As far as non-profits go, you may be interested in the EFF or the Internet Archive. Phrack Magazine (http://phrack.org/) is a very-long-running webzine for hackers, although it's been updating less and less frequently, and there are lots and lots and lots of webrings of little self-hosted sites which lean leftist. (see: https://webring.xxiivv.com/) There are also some in-person tech collectives like Cyberia: https://cyberia.club/ As far as individuals go, I don't believe Phineas Fisher has been caught yet, and of course there's Maia Arson Crimew (https://maia.crimew.gay/) who leaked the no-fly list.
