I am changing the way I use my phone. Today I sat in front of the computer and wanted to do something cool on the internet, like in the time before insta/fb/reddit/lemmy doomscrolling. I couldn’t think of any website and took a bath instead, thinking of all the older websites where you had a chatwindow, forums and such.
They’re all gone by now, aren’t they?
No, they’re still here, Google/Bing just don’t prioritize the old web style websites that don’t have trackers and don’t have mobile friendly designs.
You can find these old style sites with Marginalia a search engine for the '‘small, old and weird web’.
There’s also an explore section if you don’t know what to search for.
