@khleedril@cyberplace.social your question does not make sense.
My post was about the open web and free content, being freely accessible (viewable).
If you want to post a comment, you should do so on your personal site, and notify the original post via the Webmention protocol (a good CMS or content hosting service will do this automatically). One advantage of using open standards like Webmention is there is no need to register with other sites to use them on your own site.
You should own your replies, rather than expecting other websites to host them.

Today is my blog’s 24th blogiversary!
I started my first (previous) blog on this 220th day of 2002 using static HTML + CSS and one file per (Gregorian) month, with fragment links for specific days, posts within a day, and topics within a post:
https://tantek.com/log/2002/08.html#L20020808
No Javascript. No CMS. No SSG. No GitHub.
Just BBEdit and SFTP.
I’m still using BBEdit with my current blog, and now scp instead of SFTP.
Previously:

@ennedia@mastodon.social all the examples in my post support https.
I suspect that “a lot of that "content"…” assertion is an outdated misconception.
Do you have any specific current examples?
Also, if you do find any non-https sites/pages, since they are likely very old and uncomplicated, you can access them with https via Internet Archive (or ask it to save a copy https://indieweb.org/Internet_Archive#Trigger_Archive_in_Browser)

Updated the design of https://www.zofa.biz/ (for the third time in its 19 years of existence).
Thanks to AI, it only took me around 6 hours of work, not even that focused.
I probably wouldn't have done it without AI, even though it was clearly looking outdated. The result is nice, but I have to admit that this is a little less satisfying than programming it myself completely.

@riverpunk My blog is at https://edward.delaporte.us/blog
I joined a web ring last year out of spite for the modern search expeirence. There's some great (non-AI) digital artists in the web ring I joined (links in the footer of my blog.)
I'm just learning about the #indieweb hashtag from this post and will be following along, thanks!

@riverpunk You can follow the #indieweb hashtag if you aren't already. But there is quite the movement to return to the old days of blogs and rss feeds. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find all the places that I've bookmarked. But you could start here. https://indieweb.org/

Do y'all remember when the internet used to be made up of blogs? When people had the attention span and the space in their day to just read things? The internet used to still feel magical enough that people would just spend time in their day, clicking around to various websites and reading the blogs and articles produced by everyday, regular people.
Not highly refined content made by people who turned the internet into their jobs. Just regular people, spitting out writing that had typos and was basically just okay. But for all the professional things that it *wasn't*, the one thing that it *was* is human. It was human. It wasn't corporate or professional. It wasn't designed like TV, to fill a void in your heart.
It was just something really interesting, and you could nourish your brain with.
I wasn't involved in the blog scene when it was really happening, I was too young, but I've witnessed those sites since then, the ones that are still around. I really think it would be cool if we could find a way to return to that kind of culture. Reading things, interacting, referencing the websites of other individuals. I want that indie culture of the internet back. Why is everyone I follow some giant celebrity who does content creation as their full-time job? Where's the authentic humanity in that?
If you run a blog, or know any good blogs that you follow, feel free to link them below. Specifically ones run by individuals that aren't some marketing funnel for a side gig.

RSS Wranglin’ in the Age of AI
AI has changed how I approach and interact with the internet including my RSS subscriptions. My heavily curated archive of RSS feeds are now being corralled and prioritized (or often deprioritized) based on AI.

My #HTMLday creation!
➡️ https://burgeonlab.com/html-day-2026.html
It was very freeing to write from scratch compared to using a #SSG. I ought to do it more often!
PS. Had a horrid time trying to publish a plain HTML page bypassing #Hugo templates/layout lookup order. It works in `hugo server` but not when running `hugo`. I resorted to just putting the HTML in the static folder.
