They also have a search engine that filters out AI sludge, ad-infested websites, and commercial websites at https://search.marginalia.nu

Make a post about it if you find anything cool!

Just hit random and get a bunch of cool old sites like this https://rosydolly.neocities.org/

I don’t get nostalgia for many things but I do miss the Internet of '95-'01. Shit just felt so different back then. Message boards, interesting conversations with actual people, the feeling that the future was going to be good.

Cameron’s World is the best “THIS IS WHAT THEY TOOK FROM US” site I like to show people who never got on the internet until like 2006.

Yeahh :(

I wasn’t around for then but I do kinda remember the tail end right before the internet began its terminal melting in the mid 2010s

That can’t exist anymore but there has to be a future beyond this…

Regardless I need to make myself a website like that lol

The internet I grew up using was the 2010s so this site definitely caught me off guard.

Everytime someone says the old internet I assume they’re talking about the 2010s/ late 2000s. I completely forgot that these types of websites were a thing in the 90s/early 2000s

It’s crazy how atomized the internet is—so many cool communities and sites I only ever knew about by accident.
