I've been working on a silly personal website for a while for this exact reason: starting a webring. Specifically, I've decided to just reject replacing the social media platforms I've left. It's lovely to see others bringing back webrings.
IIRC they were less "broken" with frames (modulo aesthetic taste) but honestly I don't see the problem with the ring "breaking". Browsers have back buttons; brains do tree search.
If I'm to be an internet reactionary I'd commit to the bit -- underlined blue text to indicate a link, URLs that don't break, active use of the back button and history, etc. =)
