Still Blogging in 2017

An hommage to the web, its freedom and why it still is the superior medium for self-expression online, by Tim Bray:

The great dan­ger is that the Web’s fu­ture is mall-like: No space re­al­ly pub­lic, no store­fronts but na­tion­al brands’, no vi­su­als com­posed by am­a­teurs, noth­ing that’s on of­fer just for its own sake, and for love.
