Given how worried everyone is about the AI slopocalypse where the internet is drowned in LLM-generated junk content maybe it's time for a resurgence of human curated directories like this one.

I also maintain a human-curated directory (and search engine) of personal blogs at https://minifeed.net

You can submit a blog here: https://minifeed.net/suggest

Criteria is pretty simple:

- Must be written by a human.

- Must be in English (for now).

- Must have a valid RSS feed.

- Must not be purely a "micro-blog", i.e. must have some content other than tweet-sized status updates or links.

It was tried before (e.g. Dmoz) and it does not work after it becomes popular.

I'm thinking more like just taking all the text files from 80-90s and making a separate static, frozen in time internet.
