@triptych @ilovecomputers Any recommendations? :) I agree that the web is usable and pretty nice using RSS to follow blogs. I also love blogs with a comment section with the same community of people discussing the topic. What I miss somewhat are dedicated web forums that are active. Something like Head-fi and Steve Hoffman's forum for music. I wish for forums like that for other topics, as well.

@mutkitta @triptych @ilovecomputers Not sure whether it's possible, but what if we could use our Mastodon accounts for forums?

@mutkitta Look up: https://melonland.net/ and its forums - plus all the "handy links" on the page https://www.naiveweekly.com/ (yes I know it's based on Substack) https://goodinternetmagazine.com/ Browse some webrings: https://brisray.com/web/webring-list.htm @triptych @ilovecomputers

@mutkitta https://ourfavoritevoid.club/directory is a webring for smolweb peeps that like to blog (or like black cats, or both)! Check out some of the folx there! We've also an old-school phpbb forum, but unfortunately would probably not qualify for your definition of "active." https://32bit.cafe is just fantastic, too. Lots of tutorials and smallweb denizens to connect with. @triptych @ilovecomputers
