in the interest of helping other small publications, i want to pass along a request for [elpis zine]( ), an online zine about the small web, retro tech, and alternate protocols that recently celebrated its [10th issue]( )! for their next issue, they want to focus on #women of the #internet: "who, one way or another, influenced the creation of the modern Internet, which is why the modern World Wide Web looks exactly like this." from elpis: > These are women who are at the forefront of the attack and work on the technologies that surround us. These are women who have influenced design, content, and politics. But we're not just talking about the modern Internet, we're also talking about the small web. > There are legendary women here, too. We want to write about you, about your sites, if you have ideas about whom we can also write about, or links to pages (feel free to give your sites), that's cool! We'll publish them. the editors are looking specifically for "ideas about who can be written about from the great women who influenced the modern Internet (designers, programmers, and so on)." there's so many women in internet #history that we must keep their stories going! <3 the editor of the zine, turboblack, is a 32-bit cafe member and a passionate member of the independent web. :) i hope you appreciate this departure to spread some internet-focused publication love!
#writers, #blog aficionados, #web enjoyers, #website browsers: lend me your ears! i need help with a big push to get the word out about #writing for GOOD INTERNET magazine's autumn issue! a digital AND physical magazine that ships all over the world, run & contributed to by volunteers! (‼️) in case you're unaware, GOOD INTERNET covers a lot of different aspects of the #SmallWeb: unplugging from the corporate web, fighting #enshittification, migrating from data-harvesting corpo social media, creating your own personal website, using code and website-building as an art form, federation, and creating websites for fun. the aim is to be approachable for beginners and enjoyable for seasoned #indieweb travelers! you don't have to be a professional #webdev or a #coding smartypants to write about all the good things happening on "this side" of the web. the idea here is to spread the word about and share thoughts, independent web projects, services, methods, sites, meet-ups, and celebrate the non-corporate web together while making it easier for us to partake and unplug from #bigtech. 📏 looking for 1,000- to 4,000-word articles aimed at website owners and hobbyists, digital (and traditional) #artists, #internet culture enthusiasts, #technology nerds, #socialmedia expatriates, & anyone who wants to unplug from the corporate-owned #web. ⏲️ the deadline is AUGUST 22, 2025 ⏲️ ℹ️ more info here: #personalweb #websites #web #fediverse #neocities #nekoweb #html #css #zine #zines #indie #independent #creativity #tech #smalltech #opensource #degoogle #media
