I miss the old days of people making niche websites for their hobbies, their own blogs, and message boards.
So many people think of the Internet as Google, Meta, Netflix, or <favorite social network here>. That makes me sad.
I don't see a way back to a less commercialized internet, but little pockets of goodness like Lemmy make me happy.

Not all cities start from villages: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underoccupied_developments_in_China
Although a feature of discourse on the Chinese economy and urbanization in China in the 2010s, many developments that were initially criticized as "ghost cities" in China have since become occupied and are now functioning cities.
Some cities are literally just built into the empty space, then wait until people move in. It has worked multiple times in China. Some cities literally went from zero to a million inhabitants in under 20 years.
I actually remember this one. Weren't western articles shitting on China endlessly for this? Calling it "ghost cities" and making up conspiracy theories and all.

First name choice was "The internet"
Second name choice was "The pornography machine"
They have forgotten our provenance and purpose. There is no pornography sullying out social media. There is social media sullying our pornography.

Loads of early tech leaders who were all free-love back in the day became strangely capitalist once they realised how ludicrously rich they could get.

Jesus or just use Wordpress. Takes like an hour to set up.
Thanks, but no thanks, sir. I'll code my website myself.

You still get lemmitors who think China just has empty cities made of tofu, trains that nobody uses, giant concentration camps full of people whos only crime was desiring freedom, and that china will collapse any day now.

The land wasn't barren though.
It was inhabited by GOPHERs and TELNETs and FTPs and BBSes.

The bit that infuriates me is how Facebook (and others) also do this, and claims that they're too big to police everything. Like, you might not be able to check every single thing that gets posted, but it's definitely not beyond your powers to check everything that your platform actively promotes at people who didn't request it.

Infrastructure is the issue. Got to be able to get to the new city.

What's a good alternative nowadays for someone who isn't super tech savvy and just wants to set up a basic WYSIWYG website?
Seriously, just type in some HTML. It's barely more complicated than the Markdown you're already using for Lemmy, as long as you aren't trying to get fancy with it.

We have always lived in slums and holes in the wall. We will have to accommodate ourselves for a time. For, you must not forget, that we can also build. It is we who built these palaces and cities, here in Spain and in America and everywhere. We, the workers. We can build others to take their place. And better ones. We are not in the least afraid of ruins. We are going to inherit the earth. There is not the slightest doubt about that. The bourgeoisie might blast and ruin its own world before it leaves the stage of history. We carry a new world here, in our hearts. That world is growing in this minute.
