This is what the internet used to be. Individual, quirky pages with no agenda. Stream of thought sites with a personality.
Is each blog's lead page really hand-typed and scanned? I like the dedication and thought put into each posting.

A typecast is a method for syndicating/broadcasting content to the internet by posting to a website by typing up a post using a typewriter. More infos and examples here.
Posts about typewriters which are not typecasts should be posted on !lemmy.cafe/c/typewriters. Typecasts about typewriters can be posted on both! Cosspost, or publish the same link twice.
Unless the typecast is yours, do not publish the images directly, but the link to the page. If it's yours, do as you wish!

They are! And it's very interesting because you can't polish the text as easily as when written on a computer (backspace does not erase) so the final production is more raw. Because it's technically harder to publish a typecast, the result is nearer to the stream of consciousness of the author, and I love that.
