Honestly, I don't think the Web can be saved. Capitalism has fully corrupted it.

Sorry, but we're going to have to build our own web, with blackjack and hookers.

There was a time before everything was HTML this, CSS that, Javascript up your jackhole. We built the services we wanted, and provided them for each other. BBSes, with FidoNet, for example.

@mos_8502 When I read your post it reminded me of Dope Wars on the Palmpilot. Haha.
Maybe Gemini or whatever is called would be nice but I keep forgetting to use it. I use the Lagrange browser to access it. I'm still fairly new to all that.

@mos_8502 I just watched the BBS Documentary and it was very interesting.

@jnv @mos_8502 I like gemino well enough! I need to look i to, like, dedicated bbs systems though. I'm in a gemini-based BBS which is super impressive on a technical scale, but feels just a little bit like fitting the wrong shape in the square hole.
Honestly, I'd like to see a return to plaintext usenet. I still use usenet for binaries, but the actual discussions are still few and far between.
