RSS never tracked you.
Email never throttled you.
Blogs never begged for dopamine.
The old web wasn’t perfect.
But it was yours.@Daojoan I first came on Internet in my youth when, in France, the famous Skyblogs were declining and seen as "has been".
For years, I thought it was not worth having a blog: what could I say on there to keep readers engaged?
Well, when I finally set up my blog, I decided I wouldn't care about readers' engagement. Heck, I don't even have analytics (well I do, but I have to skim through Nginx's logs). I write what I feel like writing about, when I feel like writing.
Truly liberating.

@mu Maybe the feed I subscribed to years ago stopped working. I unsubscribed and forgot about it.

But it was yours.@Daojoan Thankfully it's all still there. I can't for sure that life is better without Instagram or TikTok, as I've never used either, but I can tell you I still enjoy the many blogs I read, the forums I frequent, and the emails I exchange with good people.
