<p>Part of the response to <a href="/tags/enshittification/" rel="tag">#Enshittification</a>, I believe, is to make NEW things on the web. When things you used to run are no longer under your control, you can a) make sure you leave a record of how it used to be, and b) start a new thing and create what you want to see on the internet. That is what I’ve been trying to do in 2024, in any case. <a href="/tags/openweb/" rel="tag">#OpenWeb</a></p>
