I love #netculture. So I subscribed to Nodepond’s Nerdletter, an atomic newsletter. It’s about game development, demoscene, retro-computing. It’s out there on the awesome wild world wide web. What do you read? Add a link in the comments!
I recommend you to subscribe to Nodepond’s Nerdletter. It’s my daily dose of nerdy netculture. If you dont like it, you can unsubscribe. Here is the link: https://nerdletter.carrd.co
I trust Nodepond and always loved his work. We collaborated organizing “The Great Escape” for years, a regular netculture gathering during my Kaiserslautern period. I liked his digitalcouch project.
I love #netculture: nerdy niches in which people dedicated a life of worktime into. Years of nerding summarized in blog posts or YouTube videos. Original. Fresh from the source, the real post on the rough pages owned by the authors, with edgy design. On their own blog, on their own page. Where they can recommend to “buy my book”, or “join my patreon/kofi” and get revenue for their creative work.
What blogs and nerdy media do you read?
Post links below into the comment field!
Why a blogpost about Nodepond and a call to comment links?
When I posted a recommendation about Nodeponds Nerdletter on Facebook, it was marked by a bot as spam and auto-deleted. The social media machine bot kraken is defending itself. So I had to come back out here.
Look around this paragraph. We are in a web-browser, there is no blue Facebook border/wall around this text. We are here in the awesome wild world wide web (short: “awwww“).
Not the instagram shadow on Platos dungeon cave of social media.
Not the desperate clickbait screenshot of a ripped off screenshot by a copycat channel stealing web comics, crammed between two Temu ads within a social media stream.
Not the endless stream controlled by THE ALGORITHM to make us to click ❤️ and ads.
You, dear reader, and I, we are currently alone out here, in the “awwww”.
You can’t just click ❤️ or below. You have to comment.
I value your comment. I will host your link here. I kept this blog and the comments online for 20 years already.
Out here, in awwww, we are few.
So it is even more important that we are aware of each other. Link to each other. Subscribe to each other. Post stuff we love. Be the network of information. Be distributed social media nodes. Be like Nodepond’s Nerdletter Newsletter.
Wow, thanks for this feature! Very appreciated.
To add to the links. What I like is watching on sunday-events “Amiga Bill”, a guy from the US, that does week after week a nice twitch-stream about news and old stuff on the Commodre Amiga computer.

I wanted to illustrate the article, the “Not the instagram shadow on Platos dungeon cave of social media.” …
Instead of prompting dall-e, I prompt your imagination:
