Unusual case of omg.lol
By pure chance, I came across a post by Michaël Szadkowski on Mastodon today, who shared a link to an article by Brennan Kenneth Brown about omg.lol. It's a website, or rather a collection of online tools, created and developed by Adam. He is also the creator of a Mastodon instance called social.lol.
In this article, Brennan raves about the advantages of omg.lol. At almost the same time, I came across a post by Benjamin, who wrote something like a love letter addressed to Adam - the creator of omg.lol.
As if that weren't enough, three days ago I wrote a post on Mastodon about renewing my omg.lol subscription for another (second) year, and the reason for this was the wonderful, open, and friendly community of social.lol — a Mastodon instance that Adam also runs as part of the omg.lol project.
And the words that Helen Chong wrote on her blog a few months ago keep resonating in my head. She summed up her first year on the omg.lol community in a unique way. I wrote a few words about it, too.
Now, as I renew my subscription to omg.lol, I also wanted to write my own summary, but today's discoveries, recommendations, and thanks to the creator say more than I could ever write myself.
So I leave you with these words and links. Maybe you too will join our ordinary yet extraordinary community of people who have found the Internet they were looking for. The Internet that seemed lost, but was all along somewhere in the corner of that big house that is the World Wide Web.
