Maybe web rings of the 90s were not such a bad idea! Let's bring 'em back!

They would poison that shit as well unfortunately. The concept is great though.

Eh, how'd you do that?

[–] Croquette@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Do what? Webrings?

[–] rottingleaf@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

How do you poison them.

[–] Croquette@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Create sites that look like legit websites, then slowly ramp-up the bullshit. Same tactic as always.

So? Every part of a web ring is a site the webmaster of which can remove that banner at any moment.
