Let's not forget that two of the most popular websites in the world (Wikipedia and Reddit) are still very much Web 1.0 and are supported by fairly unobtrusive ad/donation models.
Maybe we're taking a step back to a simpler, kinder, web.

Agree about Wikipedia, John.
Apart from my occasional monetary donations, I also make the very occasional substantive contribution as well.

Only why they had to copy Instacrap verbatim? What kind of a role model is that anyway?!

Follow me on Vero!
I like the aesthetic of Vero. Though who knows what new platform will be the next big thing. In the end, I will probably just end up not involved in any of them, leaving more time to be creative just for me (and you people here on Cameraderie.)

Was never a fan of their first album, but their greatest hits is definitely worth having on your Spotify list.

Well, I'm giving Mastodon a try since Twitter is rapidly disintegrating.

I long ago cancelled my Twitter account and never have wanted anything to do with Facebook/Meta. Life is short. I'll pass.

Electric Jesus (Elon Musk) took over a totally useless, but apparently valuable site, and has immediately turned it into a totally useless, valueless site.
Well done, EJ!

Ooooh, I just noticed that the forum software is setting Mastodon addresses as an email address. Added to my 'To Do' list to checkout.

How's Mastadon been going for you, Kevin?
Honestly, not really using it much. I was never a big Twitter or Facebook user before and then last year I more-or-less stopped visiting Twitter as often when Musk started letting all of the banned accounts back on. I've been playing around with Mastodon yet because if Twitter stays the course it's been on lately then I can't envision me visiting it very often if at all. If/when Twitter changes their API permissions and breaks our 'bot' that posts new threads then that might be the end of me visiting Twitter.
Mastodon I've been playing with more so from a tech/geek perspective than a user. It's been around awhile but now that it's starting to gain mainstream traction I've been looking into stuff like how to 'verify' a Cameraderie account and if we can create a bot to feed into it like we do Twitter.
