The Founder of GeoCities on What Killed the ‘Old Internet’ – Jody Serrano, Gizmodo

“…the only way we could deal with those was to continue to enhance our content guidelines and be very, very deliberate—very, very strict. We just banned all sorts of speech that is allowed today. We wouldn’t allow it on the platform.”

David Bohnett, GeoCities Founder

iOS Privacy: Instagram and Facebook can track anything you do on any website in their in-app browser – Felix Krause

This almost shouldn’t be shocking at this point, but maybe someone coming with receipts will help.

What Did Indies Learn from the Boyfriend Dungeon Content Warning Discourse? – Kenneth Shepard, fanbyte

I think that having content warnings is a good idea and another piece of the accessibility puzzle. The people who complain about them existing at all are angry about yet another thing in gaming just because they want a proxy battle in their war against the expansion of gaming.

How to Tell if You’re Being Breadcrumbed in a Relationship, Friendship or at Work – Amy Beecham

Mario and Luigi are Clones

North of the Border has gotten better and better with his sculpting and painting over time. This is such a cool and creepy build.

A 19 year old activist just embarrassed Matt Gaetz while raising millions for abortion rights! – There Are No Girls on the Internet

Matt Gaetz is doing his poor Jerry Seinfeld impression, and disgustingly, even with everything we know about him and that he straight up admits about himself, he’ll surely get re-elected.

We Need to Talk About Meme Culture – Digital Void

This is a great conversation that I want to highlight. Meme culture is more than just sharing funny ideas. It’s building up mindsets, and being able to fly under the radar because dangerous, extremist content is seen in little bits and pieces as not worthy for moderation by platforms.

the ultimate redo – Queersplaining

Queersplaining is back!! This conversation with Gavin Grimm and Kyle Lukoff is about their newly released children’s book about Gavin’s story fighting for gender equality.
