Read about the Yesterweb meltdown and I feel like the big takeaway is that a webring of peoples' gardening sites and pages about NES emulation on Neocities may not be incredibly fertile ground to start a revolutionary mass line organization
Yeah idk what the hell the webring leaders were thinking when they made that site. I have no real connection to the "community" on neocities—I use it to host my blog, and nothing else—but I remember hearing about the yesterweb meltdown.
The funny part is that the people running it had really thought they were onto something—rather than, oh I don't know, give up their dreams of starting The Revolution™ on neocities, they just shut down the whole ring and wrote a big-ass screed. (Did they expect a protracted people's war on ISPs or something?)
