   Was thinking about web rings tonight and came across this post. I don’t know for sure if Google actively penalises web rings (or links pages), but we have lost something by not having them anymore. Curation of indie websites / blogs was an important part of the early web, including early Web 2.0. https://mastodon.social/@HumanServitor/113573150261668389

     I’ve thought about web rings repeatedly for the past several years. There’s an easy way to do it that will serve its purpose while also not getting a site in trouble (assuming Google even cares about this anymore, which I doubt they do and would likely ignore now anyway).

     Add rel=“ugc” to all of the links
