RiF user. So proud of what everyone is pulling here. Everyone united, no matter the app, for the same goal. A new "home" on the web.
Its not the web anymore bro. It the Internet. But hopefully we can change that!
You kids and your funny words. let's meet in the middle: "A new home on this series of tubes"
What are you talking about? Seriously, I don't understand. Are you trying to make a joke?
If you're serious:
The Web—short for World Wide Web— is the software on top of it all, i.e. the series of networked websites we all enjoy; the Internet is the hardware behind it all, i.e. the series of networked computers and servers behind it all.
It's still the Web, which is still hosted on the Internet. They are not cultural terms that shift with public opinion.
If you're joking:
Well, then I just don't get it and I apologize for my social ineptitude. :P
Yes, it was a joke, and a bad one at that lol. I'm not THAT dumb, it was a reference to the dead internet post where the writer starts off by saying "the web is dead, long live the internet" saying how the "web" or internet on the early 200's has become so corprotized and whit washed that its more bots then humans at this point.
Ahhhhhhh. Sorry about that. That joke I guess was a bit before my time. I grew up in the 90s and 00s but had a very sheltered childhood. Didn't end up really getting exposed to the Internet proper until about the 10s. :)
No problem bro, wasint till I was 13 that I started using the internet.
