i feel like the reigning neocities crew has finally done a full turnover from the 2018 bunch but maybe that's just cause I gradually unfollowed some people

oooh please do elaborate, i wasn't there in 2018 but i have always gotten this vague feeling that there is an Old Guard that i have never really interacted with but whose sites inexplicably have hundreds of followers

IDK, a lot of the big guys used to all be in a discord server together, then one day abruptly all accused each other of being terrible lying human beings and mostly moved their sites off neocities. I like the more random, decentralized feel here now

no, and I actually had to Google what that was. contrary to what everything about me would suggest I don't know much about "music"

that sounded needlessly sarcastic but in all honesty it's hilarious that my internet presence has become so centered around music opinions when I still think of myself as a visual art person

like 1/3 of neocities sites are just a front page that says "site redesign in process..... check back soon!!" [last updated november 2017]

really? imo 1/3 of neocities sites are just a front page that says "ive migrated to [their website with a top-level domain] (click here to view website archive)"

i would bet 1/3 of all neocities sites are just the default page with maybe two lines and the background changed (and last updated november 2017)

oh if we're counting people who never actually did anything with their site then sites like that are probably in the 80% range

I thought it was just one page saying "Hi I'm [name] these are my socials" and nothing else.

bluef00t 4 years ago

@scifirenegade I feel like that's kind of a legitimate use of a neocities site though, an "about me" page collecting someone's links. It's disappointing but feels like less of an a tease or empty promise

God, I hate those "My name is _ here are my socials" sites. Like, just make a linktree and be done with it, it's not that hard.

realistic simulation of geocities, though! if you do not follow olia lialina on twitter, i would encourage it, she posts many great old web sites, many of which have this same message https://twitter.com/GIFmodel/status/1351053604195622914

@marijnflorence Well, that's most of the sites on this host. Although, I wish some "nostalgia" sites went for a web aesthetic other than 90s internet
