    Almost every refuge in internet is for profit data hungry giants. Where are the random forums, personal blogs and the virtual world that used to exist.

      I still blog. Nobody reads it because search sucks, but I keep blogging. Others do too. There are dozens of us.

        Me too. With no telemetry or interaction I don’t even know if even a single person has read my dump of thoughts.

          WordPress has the ActivityPub plugin, which is the only way I’ve managed to disseminate my articles and have people interact with them.

          Who’s your webhost? The data is almost certainly there.
