cozy 90s BBS forums, obscure blogs, etc.

It’s not obscure, but, for me, Wikipedia is the ultimate example of the old internet that still persists today.
Free to use, no account required, ad free, non-corporate, multilingual, heavily biased toward text, simple and utilitarian design. Hyperlinks concatenate relevant pieces of information, which serve as the means to navigate the site. The code is very simple (seriously, view the page source of a wikipiedia article). It’s based on the human desire to learn and share knowledge with others, and has remained resilient to corruption by commercial interests that pervert that desire for monetary gain. It’s a beautiful thing.
How is it that 2 days after this posted no one has said “Craigslist.”
Aw i miss when website tracking was only “xxxx users have visited this page” and it was just a simple counter that counted up.
Don’t forget signing the guest list.
people often say they can find this kind of thing via my employer, Mojeek: https://www.mojeek.com/
Really awesome old school sites. Crazy gifs, web rings, etc.
And pretty much the rest of the FSF and GNU websites.
I haven’t visited in a long time – but I can’t imagine Craigslist has changed much.
It has not, though there really isn’t much posted there anymore. Facebook marketplace has replaced it for most stuff. :(
What about craigslist casual encounters? I’d love to see facebook’s attempt at that.
Facebook dating? Lol
Facebook one night stands.
If you want one that isn’t actually from that time, just feels like it, I’d say https://tildes.net/
