They also have a search engine that filters out AI sludge, ad-infested websites, and commercial websites at https://search.marginalia.nu

Make a post about it if you find anything cool!

    Just hit random and get a bunch of cool old sites like this https://rosydolly.neocities.org/

    I don't get nostalgia for many things but I do miss the Internet of '95-'01. Shit just felt so different back then. Message boards, interesting conversations with actual people, the feeling that the future was going to be good.

      Yeahh :(

      I wasn't around for then but I do kinda remember the tail end right before the internet began its terminal melting in the mid 2010s

      That can't exist anymore but there has to be a future beyond this...

      Regardless I need to make myself a website like that lol

      The internet I grew up using was the 2010s so this site definitely caught me off guard.

      Everytime someone says the old internet I assume they're talking about the 2010s/ late 2000s. I completely forgot that these types of websites were a thing in the 90s/early 2000s
