A movement focused on capturing the creativity and openness of the early Internet. We aren’t here to watch Big Web burn (we have plenty of communities for that) but to find positive ways we can make the Small Web better. Elsewhere in the Fediverse: * !fediverse@lemmy.world [/c/fediverse@lemmy.world] * !fedigrow@lemm.ee [/c/fedigrow@lemm.ee] * !journaling@sh.itjust.works [/c/journaling@sh.itjust.works]

!webrevival@lemm.ee

About acknowledging that we took a wrong turn when Big Web tempted everyone into their walled gardens and setting out to reclaim it.

Any ideas for an icon and banner gracefully received.

    Any ideas for an icon and banner gracefully received.

    • Something related to land/landscape and growing culture or stuff? Something peaceful at humane scale.
    • Something related to simple/basic HTML and CSS code, like they used to be back then?
    • A journal/diary page maybe? But some may suggest I’m not that objective here :p
    • I try to avoid vindictive content myself but you may also consider showing the demise of that shi… corporate Web, say in the guise of some ruined ugly building/factory, and the grow of a more organic and once again fully personal Web (a tree or whatever)?

    I’m no graphic designer but I made the banner/icon for our small journaling community (!journaling@sh.itjust.works). If you like it and if you think I can help you in any way contact me I would be happy to help. BTW, I also promoted your new community to our members as I think they might really be interested in what you want to do ;)

      That’s the banner sorted. I’ll make some relevant HTML and screenshot it.

      I’ll avoid it as one of the manifestos mentions that we should be being kinder and look out for each other. So my aim is to not watch the Big Web burn (we have lots of communities for that) but all the positive things we can do to make the Web better.

      BTW, I also promoted your new community to our members as I think they might really be interested in what you want to do ;)

      Great thanks, there’s a lot of crossover with other communities, as we Fediversers are part of this Web Revival.

      I’ve added your community to the sidebar. If you know of others that might fit, let me know.

        !digitalgardens@lemmy.blahaj.zone seems kind of relevant. I do not mod it for transparency.

        As much as I like seeing bad ginormous corporate sites burn I am very glad you are not having that in the community, I nigh-on guarantee the negativity that would generate and the outrage would outshout any constructive post about building something. Destruction and watching the world burn is easier than building something nice in its place.

          Thanks but I can’t find it either through the link or over on LBZ.

          Exactly, it would change the tone of the community for the worst.
