I've started using hidden services a lot more recently.

They remind me of the internet I remember from 1998-2006.

I wouldn't say it's the 'old' internet, because I wasn't alive for the supposed glory days of arpanet, but it definitely has the sleazy, probably illegal, never say who I am irl vibe I remember and miss.

What kind of hidden services? You mean stuff like Tor?

Probably talking more about obscure forums, blog and tiny webshops. Just like a decade+ ago.

Tor, freenet, i2p.

Freenet definitively has a old-school feeling, I'm subscribed to their mailing list and I just wish the project wasn't plagued by a lot of internal fights.
