If you want to avoid the mainstream Internet there are a few ways:
- Use wiby.me to find personal sites and webrings (They still exist)
- Use gopher/gemini to discover personal phlogs and capsules
- RSS feeds
- Usenet (There are quite a few active groups under comp.*)
- IRC servers
- Shared unix machines (e.g. sdf.org)
- BBSes Of course :)
- oldavista.com This is the best way to search and access the old net
- Mailing lists
- Web forums, especially the obscure ones
- Peertube

There might be other ways, but I think the list above is enough to get started. I haven't really tried mastodon, so I didn't include it in my list.
