"Links are the lifeblood of the web, and linking to other sites is a declaration of independence. Its a declaration that says, “I am the infrastructure of the web, I am not content, nor am I a product, I am a human and a participant in this great work of humanity we call the Internet”. Linking to other sites is an act of rebellion; but its also an act of meditation, and of ego death - linking to the work of others is a way of celebrating their achievements and by doing so, gaining dignity for yourself and your work. You deserve to be part of the web, not its final destination; and there is respect in knowing that. Its a two way street, a conversation, and a collaboration." i've been working on/thinking about a links page for my homepage. currently, i just have outbound links scattered throughout various areas but i want to do a dedicated page too. do u have a links page on your website? share it below! https://thoughts.melonking.net/thoughts/every-site-needs-a-links-page-why-linking-matters

This is an interesting take on links pages! I understood them to be a localized alternative to linktree and similar services, largely used to consolidate social links. This almost seems like a combination of friends + uses + colophon pages! Maybe this is the way and the links I imagined could just be contact? (there's no formal standard to any of these but I do find conventions better to follow and just want to play along where others are going)

i always had a links page linking out to friends and interests on my early websites. so it was basically the equivalent to a "following" tab. looking at other ppl's links was the main way i would find other interesting ppl on the web. also having lots of ppl link to u was also the way to hack google search result rankings (⌒_⌒;)

we need to go back to personal sites as the ultimate decentralized social network ^-^ it's even easier today with all the one-click/drag and drop solutions for ppl who don't write html hey i just looked at your website for the first time in a while and it's different! it's so good! <3
