Interesting read. It captures a lot of how I feel and what I miss about the "old internet."

Good luck get advertiser support for your "slow web". Oh, wait...

I don't know abou that. I don't want to manage visiting dozens of websites.

Technically it is also possible to make interactionless feeds with no live and share bottons

I would question the assumption that advertisers on the internet is a good thing.

I agree with everything here. The internet wasn’t always a constant amusement park.

I’m rather proud of my own static site

How's visiting dozens of pages different from visiting dozens of websites?

And BTW, on sites where feeds are in fashion, maybe some kind of Usenet upgraded for HTML and Markdown and post\author hyperlinks would be more in place.

Visiting feeds is like using tools from one organized toolbox. Visiting many websites is like jumping between many separate toolboxes

No. You have a toolbox, it's called a web browser. To unite the particular websites you have a web ring, or your own bookmarks. There were also web catalogues.

Bookmark at not intuitive enough to me and RSS feeds are still feeds that have no interaction features like the writer of this article like.

I am always for giving the most power to users. I like compromises like user settings so people who want a feed with interactions can and who doesn't can disable it

I think I wrote this. This is my philosophy for how the web should be. Social media shouldn’t be the main Highway of the web. And the internet should be more of a place to visit, not an always there presence.

But why do we need interactive crap for everything. Comments and etc for articles are the worst. Not everybody needs to hear you, sometimes you’ve just gotta take in information and process it.

Like I literally Maintain my own fleet of apps that give me just the article body images, in a sorted feed. No ads. No links. Nothing. Even the links to other articles, etc in the middle of an article is too much. I hate that shit. Modern web page design is garbage and unreadable.

I don’t need to know stacy from North Dakota’s thoughts on an article because 99% of the time it’s toxic anyways. Or misinformed.

One of the things I miss about web rings and recommended links is it's people who are passionate about a thing saying here are other folks worth reading about this. Google is a piss poor substitute for the recommendations of people you like to read.

Only problem with slow web is people write what they are working on, they aren't trying to exhaustively create "content". By which I mean, they aren't going to have every answer to every question. You read what's there, you don't go searching for what you want to read.

Modern web page design is garbage and unreadable.

Because it's a "newspaper meets slot machine" design. Kills two birds with one stone, hijacking media (censorship is invisible) and making money (invisible too).

I don’t need to know stacy from North Dakota’s thoughts on an article because 99% of the time it’s toxic anyways. Or misinformed.

And also because not every place is supposed to be crawling with people.

Interactiviry seems to be a good thing. What brings you to participate here on Lemmy?

Reading content. I'm more of a lurker compared to most users.

I like your pictures!

Thank you!

Well...

Maybe that’s a dark mode thing? I know Dark Reader breaks almost anything with an already dark theme.

With respect to the presentation of your site, I like it! It's quite stylish and displays well on my phone.
