What do you miss from the old internet?
i think we need Cracked-style articles back. desperately. or like, a guy doing a weird thing and writing a piece on it. sites like those are declining faster than the glaciers.

user customisability. online profiles were awesome until like 2013 where it all became plain black or white backgrounds with a banner. you could have custom backgrounds or even entirely custom CSS in a lot of websites. I really love the theme my instance uses because a lot of Lemmy instance themes are plain and dull too, just default black or white with no creativity, unlike db0 with the crazy outer space and fire and shit. makes it feel more human.
It's one of k my biggest criticisms of Lemmy. No ability for communities to customise themselves. Reddit's redesign is awful, but at least allows a little customisation, and classic Reddit with its custom CSS was awesome. It hurts rpggreentext greatly not to be able to use CSS to show…the eponymous greentext.
