The small web is actually massive

Personal sites, indie tools, and small communities are still a real network. The open web is not dead; it is undercounted.

That means they disappear from the dashboards that define what most people think the web is.

The irony is that some of the best human knowledge still lives there. It is written by people who care about the subject more than the traffic graph.

A personal site is a vote for the open web. It is also a hedge against renting your entire public identity from a platform you do not control.
