@ricmac@mastodon.social Richard, there was never such a thing as Read Only Web. Also dot.com is a phenomenon that was not there from 1990, it is a 1997 - 2001 period.
Please don't simplify the history like this.

@GIFmodel@olia.geocities.institute I don’t think I’m simplifying history, it’s just a framing device. I’m talking about broad trends. Eg even in what I have labeled the “Platform Web”, that was a time when the Indie Web thrived. I understand that you don’t like the “Read Web” term here, but I think it’s valid in the context of the trends I’m discussing.
