> but I think a lot of the particular "weird" vibe of the early days of the modern web is pretty much dead

I take it you haven't had a 12 year old talk your ear off about Five Nights at Freddy's lore or "SCP" then?

SCP Foundation has been around for like 15 years! The wiki itself is absolutely great though, it's definitely a good example of that DIY ethos. It's been interesting to see how much content has been generated from the stuff on the site over the last few years. My kids seem to enjoy the SCP lore explainer videos (at least, when they're allowed on YouTube).
