#angelfire — Public Fediverse posts

So, Angelfire still exists. Just on a whim, I gave them $3.25 on a card that's about to expire, to see if I can still build a website. Sadly, it won't publish. But I want to call your attention to the Cooking section of the classic member directory. All three sites are still there! All done in that homey recipe-site vibe.

*shivers with nostalgia*

I wonder where these ladies are now.

Glad it still happens that you stumble upon proper #weird pages on the #www that feel as inspiring as browsing surrealist film stills on #tumblr back in the day:

I was reading a story today about #theoldnet and how if you leave an “&” symbol at the end of an #email , it means you want the recipient to reply back. Does anyone remember this or still do this today? I don’t recall that being a thing or maybe it was and I didn’t notice. Gonna tag below with adjacent words in hopes of response.

The first Vietnam Veterans Memorial is about 1 mile from Angel Fire. It is a 6,000 square foot memorial built by Dr. Victor Westphall with his private funds to honor his son, David, who was killed in a 1968 enemy ambush in Vietnam. Completed in 1971, it became a New Mexico State Park in 2005.

Thank you for the optimistic PoV on the entrance of others to the #DeSoc of the Fediverse. It is an optimism that I share - especially with Matthias' announcement just an hour ago that his team behind the development of the #WordPress ActivityPub plugin has just released version 2.0.0 - considering the enormous footprint of WordPress installations across the entire Internet belonging to both common, everyday individuals and companies alike, of every shape and size, this is HUGE news.

It instantly, overnight, positions common folks and businesses to leap into the freedoms afforded them by the existing, privacy respecting, #FOSS based Fediverse that hitherto was... well, a bit of a leap for them psychologically. But now they have a familiar platform with which to begin a journey through the minefields of the deprecated, privacy mining, monolithic silos; its proprietors programming their masses of #subjugated_chattel into livestock holding pens, where they are weighed, measured, packaged, placed into inventory, and sold.

That does raise the issue of an error in your assertions however. You mentioned, "instances in Meta's fediverses and on Bluesky".

The truth however, the reality, is that each are merely a single instance - One big monolithic silo, as described above, with the same incentives of monetization through privacy mining techniques that have made them the dreadnoughts that they are; at least in the case of #Meta (Threads).

Bluesky is of that vertically scaling market as well, but much smaller than the #Faceplant and #InstaSPAM engines operated by Meta, and now their new spearhead into the DeSoc space occupied by ActivityPub and other decentralized or federated protocol based, horizontally scaling instances.

#Bluesky hasn't actually shown their hand yet to the general public, but already, they've disenfranchised (fired) much of their talent; some, actually principal architects of their monolith who were frustrated and disillusioned with the direction Jay has been taking the company - moving further and further away from the disowned public community they spawned, organized, and abandoned following the initial trials and tests of the open source preview version of what became #ATP protocol (ATX).

Even Jack has moved on and embraced yet another horizontally scaling protocol in the DeSoc space, #nostr, and it's already bridged and interoperating flawlessly with the ActivityPub powered portion of the Fediverse, which in turn interoperates with instances running other protocols such as #Nomad, #OStatus, #Streams, #Diaspora, and #ZOT... all of them part of the Fediverse.

Many of the extant #ActivityPub powered instances in the Fediverse merely need to install these capabilities with a couple of clicks to enable this interoperability, while others bridge the divide through infrastructure developed and deployed over the past year or so.

What will be Meta's use case here for their business product?

That's the main question I think folks need to address - not punish the good people on the so-called evil side of the divide, the hitherto subjugated chattel that populate Marks so-called Metaverse or whatever he thinks he can compel people to adopt and endure. The point is, childish, domain level blocking by juvenile minds operating ActivityPub powered #Fediverse server instances only serves to paint themselves (and the users who have to date trusted those admins with being told what they can and cannot see and do) into a corner where they effectively cancel themselves, and find that their users have migrated to other spaces... maybe WordPress, where they truly control their own destiny in the DeSoc space and can now fully participate and engage with others - but on their own terms, not someone else's.

And that, I believe, is what the whole thing has always been about, going back as far as #AngelFire and #GeoCities :)

I do agree with you that we should indeed embrace these common, everyday individuals who, through their programmed ignorance, are mostly clueless as to exactly what the Fediverse is, and more importantly, has always promised for them. This is an opportunity, like Steve Austin, (the Six Million Dollar Man): "We can rebuild them, we have the technology, we can make them better, stronger, faster..."

One more thing I should correct you on, the Fediverse is an internetwork of networks, on the Internet - there are no fediverses, Fediverse is itself a plurality, but your intent wasn't lost on me.

Great article, I enjoyed the read and most of all, your optimistically tempered intent. Thanks for sharing and I hope to see much more from you in the future!

Here is a weird post about #FreeWebHosting #culture that bridges 20+years.

iF I told you 'Hey, you should really look out for those #Tripod & #AngelFire web hosting users due to their #GangStalking #IDS, /s' from 20+yrs ago but just replaced the web hosting providers with #Instagram & #Facebook, what would you of thought about those #FreeWebHosting users today who are complacent with their #FreeWebHosting #culture of #GangStalking being #investigated
🤔

🔮 : 🔎 Certain #ClosedWeb vs. #OpenWeb things would stand out due to Public Scrutiny. Why, aren't you using the #PeriodTrackingApp called #FacebookMessenger currently being used for tracking #Abortion related #crimes? Amazing things started to happen when the #ClosedWeb #SocialMedia place got #OpenWeb'D. Init? 👀👀 🔍

#PrivateFacebookForums made #Public and the list of names involved in #GangStalking is quite effective and prosecutors love using 18 U.S.C. Sec 241 to hand out 5, 10, 15 to Life Sentences for this #GangStalking behavior btw.

For one example of this #GangStalking behavior coupled with illegal #Surveillence by the #Landlord found by the residents of a whole neighborhood, btw:

.... What iF your #Landlord was disclosing when their #Tenants were leaving _their_ residence for coordination of #BreakIns using #SocialMedia to harass the #renter? That would be pretty stupid based on how #ediscovery at #Meta works.

🔎 WOT iF the #Police just looked the other way because this was under $10k of theft? WOT iF #BodyCam footage was correlated with #PoliceReports to uncover this? 💯🔍

#FacebookMessenger is not #private

#FunFact : #MarkZuckerburg lied to you about #privacy

He told you earlier in his career '#DumbFscks shouldn't trust #Meta.'

#MARCOM lied to you about #Privacy & #Advertising networks you call #SocialMedia. Duh.

Not everyone has a #Meta account

Not everyone has a #Facebook

Not everyone has an #Instagram

Not many people even know what a ' #Metaverse ' even IS let alone visit it outside of #Meta per the huge losses at the #VR #AR #MR division of #RealityLabs there in Menlo Park, CA.

#Prosecutors are already using this #OneWeirdMARCOM trick, 'saying everyone is on something ' when in fact, No, very few people ACTUALLY use this. Did you miss the #RICO documentary about #MarkZuckerburg in 2010 or something? 🤔

Now they are just weaponizing certain states laws on #abortion to go after your #Mothers and #Daughters for #abortions in #ListOfStates, btw. Read up on which states those #FreeWebHosting companies that are JUST #Advertising companies with #WebHosting btw, 💯, where YOU ARE THE PRODUCT being SOLD, data wise, since you don't pay them, obvs., except now in places in the EU, where they are looking at #OptingOutOfAdvertising & offering a #PaidWebHosting model, duh, due to #Regulations on certain things #ForcedConsent & otherwise, being completely illegal. #GDPR

For anyone into #web #nostalgia who possibly remembers how much fun places like #Geocities and #Angelfire and #LiveJournal were, here's Cameron's World.

https://www.cameronsworld.net/

Found via the equally fun https://makefrontendshitagain.party/ which contains loads of links to similar websites embracing the joy of the World Wide Web of the 1990s and early 2000s.

@brewsterkahle The #InternetArchive is the most important site on the Internet. They have been saving almost every webpage since the 90s to preserve the history of the web. Remember #Angelfire? #Geocities? They do.

And they have much more. Millions of old videos, including the #PrelingerArchive of old PSAs and industrial films. The "Duck and Cover" ads from the 50s are my favorite, with a cartoon turtle who teaches kids how to hide under their desk in a nuclear attack.

They have every book scanned by the #Gutenberg Project. They have 16,000 #GratefulDead shows donated by the band. They have in-browser #emulation of game systems from the #Atari2600 to the #Playstation, and computers like the #C64, #AppleII, and 80s #Mac. They even have a growing library of #Elon's deleted tweets, preserved for history.

An easy way to donate: I set them up as my #Amazon Smile charity at smile.amazon.com. Now when I buy anything, Amazon donates 0.5% of my purchase to them.

Donate! History will thank you.

Anybody got any #advice on how to browse an old #angelfire site that’s full of #malware? #HowTo

@MarchViolet @alison I had both. I will age myself, I was in college and was learning early html on my own for fun and had an #angelfire page. So when in my graphic design class we did a unit on web stuff, I made a #geocities page too. There was another one pre geocities that I can't remember the name of too.

I also had a pre #yahoo buyout #rocketmail email address. 👴

#BBS #email #Usenet #IRC #AIM #ICQ #YahooMessenger #Geocities #Angelfire #MySpace #Blogger #LiveJournal #Facebook #Google+ #Twitter #Tumblr #Instagram #TikTok I'm sure #Mastodon is the one though #FuckI'mTired

Maybe we should take it back to the days when everyone had a vanity homepage that nobody else ever looked at? They were like millions of one-person social networks. Think less #Facebook and #Twitter and more #Geocities and #Angelfire. Fewer memes, and more "Under Construction" gifs. And no Musks, whatsoever.

#SundayRevival

I had no idea #Lycos #Tripod and #Angelfire are all still alive, until I followed information from the #Daum and #Kakao merger.

It all started with searching for information why Kakao's news portal is now redirecting to Daum's when supposedly they've chosen to retain the former's brand name. I guess they're refocusing Kakao web portal for anything but news.

Then I came across information about Lycos, Tripod, and Angelfire. Oh, that includes Lycos Mail.

We should bring back #NetscapeNavigator and #Geocities and #Angelfire next to really bring the old web back. Resurrect all our old band fan sites and stuff.

@Alyzande

Ummm... You left out #Tripod and #Angelfire ;)

All the best!
