Hey. I was watching this thread and created an account just to say that you are right!
Bombarding a user with popup stuff is one of the things i criticized in my blog. I completely forgot that i turned on this setting when i set up this blog (whoops). I changed the “notification-question” to only show once after you visited the site for the fifth time.
Thanks for visiting my site though and for pointing this out to me! <3
Seriously if you’re old enough to remember the Internet in terms of users weird passion projects you could do a lot worse than hanging off any part of activitypub.
There’s a lot more people than the old days with technical backgrounds, so there’s a lot more practical stuff.
Really interesting article! Most importantly to me, it has spurred some really good conversations.
Personally, I don’t think early web is the answer. Modern web usage has allowed for better accessibility to all ages and types. Content aggregation allows for (but doesn’t guarantee) more views and opinions. There are certainly elements we can get back from the early days, but I think we still need work to find a perfect web
Of course. There are so many features of the modern web that i’d never give up (speed, security ,accessibility, api’s [that one’s ironic nowadays], dev tools, webgl,…).
Like you said, a great solution would be to combine those newer and older elements in order to create a great web for all. I think that the fediverse is already a great step into the right direction.
Interesting. I agree that there are some that make the internet a worse place, but surely we wouldn’t want to close the internet to all the others that could use it for good?

Which you do by tracking your users instead of generating a value and leaving users to decide if they want to be notified about new content. Put a button on your page that allows for this, but don’t go out bothering people.

Welcome to the part of the Internet with a soul.

Absolutely. I guess that’s why many of us are here.
One could argue that this is part of the problem.
