Roy Tang 🇵🇭<p>&gt; "I want to be clear, I'm not telling you to ditch social media completely, or stop building websites for business. There is still plenty of room on the web for commercial websites alongside the independent personal web. This is very much not a plea to go back to the old days of GeoCities, but rather a plea to bring the magic of the old days into the present day."</p><p><a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/blogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blogging</span></a> <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/web" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>web</span></a></p>
