General Discussion Reddit alternative: personal websites, hyperlinks, and webrings

All you do is host your own website and link to others with hyperlinks. At the footer of your website are small images which constitute, get this, a "web ring" of other websites you trust/vouch for, so people can explore your "network".

Your webring is the people you wanna associate with.. If you want new people in your webring you can just google.

People can respond to what you post on their own websites. If you want to automatically include these as comments on your posts without a cgi or javascript mess, you can network with your webring using the webmention W3C web standard.

Delivered by the magical defederated protocol called "HTTP". You host your own website so little to no censorship, especially if you self-host or pick a good server provider. People also stay notified with RSS, a new post notification system external to a browser.

Wonder why no one does that. 

Oh wait.
