> As mentioned in another post I maintain a list of weird links you can browse at random if you want to do some browsing https://theforest.link/

Out of 6 random tries, all were dev oriented and none were what I would consider weird. 3 out of the 6 were websitehowto.com and the other 3 were developer blogs. Perhaps it was just poor luck, but I don't see how websitehowto.com, a "5-page guide to start a Wordpress website", really fits.

So there’s some 1800 links in there and it’s possible that some might have been expired and then squatted or redirected to some crappy websites.

I just run the experiment and out of 6 clicks I got:

- a site no longer online - a personal blog on neocities - another blog on blogspot - a dev oriented personal site - another neocities website - a site dedicated to home networks

Again, unfortunately most indie web is also tech web, there’s no way around it.
