— “Webring”, you say?

— Yes. A webring.

Those things from the late 90’s/early 00’s where real people with real websites connected via a linking mechanism known as a webring.

Well, it’s not so much of a mechanism as a list of websites that link between each other in a chain.

So you could land on one which would say it’s a part of a given webring, along with a “next”, “previous” and sometimes “random” site.

So you could easily discover other websites that share common values.

Human made.

My idea came a few weeks ago to try and join together people who had real websites and blogs who were against using ai slop in their writing.

That’s to say, it’s not a case of judging people who use AI to accomplish certain tasks. But it is a conscious decision to collect together people who vouch to not churn out AI slop in their posts.

Keep it real.

Keep it human.

If you have a website/blog, and want to join a slowly-growing community of people online who prefer the web stayed human-centered, then come along to human-made.site and join us. 🙂

— Right, that’s it. I’m getting annoyed with the block editor. I’m switching to ClassicPress

Two months pass.

Slightly missing the fact that my posts appear in the fediverse via the excellent activitypub plugin for WordPress.

— Okay. I’m gonna switch back to WordPress.

Sees that the next version of WordPress is merging in a whole load of ai-related features.

*smh*

— Fuck this! I’m going back to ClassicPress for good. Nothing is worth mixing with the slop machines.

I really want to start writing short stories on here. Much like an old friend Andy Hawthorne does.
