Neocities: they try to bring back the atmosphere or our old Geocities (believe me, they achieved that goal).
These past weeks have been pretty interesting to me, leaving the Birdsite aside. I started using Mastodon again, and through it I discovered how some people are devoting their time & energy to resucitate some buried ideas from the old Web, or Yesterweb.
I have many less followers on Mastodon than in the Birdsite (40 vs 341), yet my activity has generated many more interactions than there. Not only that, among the users who decided to interact with me I counted: a co-discoverer of the Laniakea supercluster, one of the lead developers behind F#, the author of many important books on Java & JVM, plus many others. I'm literally a nobody, but this time there was no algorithm relying on relevance and engament metrics to decide what to present to each one of us.
