🔗 The case for a better web – La màquina de Turing

This has been discussed for a while, but 2024 has seen a peak of discussions and contributions to this topic. I suggest three converging causes to this renaissance of the web: the late stage of enshittification of the platforms; the revival of the personal blogs (and podcasts) during the covid pandemic; and the nostalgia of the generations that enjoyed the old web as teenagers and are now in their 30s and 40s.

This is an on-going collection of essays, articles, projects and manifestos about what went wrong and what to do to make it right.

Oh my, well, isn't this a treat! First, the artwork at the top of the page, a visual feast. But then all of the linked posts. I took a second to glance at the rest of the site and I suspect this is going to be a new favorite and return visits over the coming weeks.
