Tumblr is shooting itself in the foot harder and Bluesky is a panopticon... Wonder if indie spaces will get a resurgence again before everyone goes crawling back.

I don't use Tumblr for creativity but I'm really rattled by this update. This site is still retired but I have a draft in progress that should be done before the con.

unfortunately i don't think so - people can't function in a sandbox like environment ;_;

There's still spurts of activity and new people joining or coming back, it's just a matter of who sticks around.

it seems like tumblr staff has reversed the change already due to all the backlash, lol. it would still be cool to see a bit of migration, though

it will take years and it will be slow. (if it does happen) people dont want to change, ive noticed people who hate elon musk that still use twitter. I see people who hate tumblr but use it anyway. Not a single one of these people have had the idea to move or make their own sites nor do they want to. It'll be slow, and it when it does happen people are going to be very unhappy about doing it. I love it, personally.

Why insisit on using social media anyways? If they cant follow you onto your own site are they truly fans of your work? Ive seen people switch to (starting from) deviantart, tumblr, twitter, bluesky, newgrounds, ect. All for their posts to be flooded with random reposts or tangents. I like myself a tangent. I like reading blogs, but why are you posting your important artwork,videos,ect, on someone elses site while

blogging? what do they even want out of these sites? I have tried to play with their fiddles and i couldnt keep contorting anymore. Humans have been creators since the dawn of creation yet we're forcing ourselves to ride with althorigms all while putting our neurons on display for every number you could imagine on your screen. It doesnt even have to be a real person. Its just the idea of one. All for someone elses

website and wallet, and you get their little shitdriplings of money while theyre making more than you could think you could ever imagine having in your life. Fantasies cant compare. Why even do it? What is the positive? I truly and deeply do not understand. I am a NOBODY. I am NOTHING. And even I have two dedicated fans that i have never met. And i do not post on social media anymore. What is the point? If i can do

icandoanything 2 weeks ago

This the way im doing it, everyone else could, too. And for people who are creating anything? They do not care. They will not care, if they did, they would've created something already. Something big will happen that will force everyone out of these sites, and the mess will not be fun. It is for the greater good. I am hopeful but i do not see it happening soon. Neocities needs longer comment limits.

I'm in the camp of using sites I dislike and it's mainly because it's where an actual community is. I get what you're saying but I don't really agree and even wrote my own "piece" about it. I don't expect anyone to agree, but I've dealt with unsuccessful migratons for 20 years and I'm over it. https://capyhaus.neocities.org/runes/exodus.html

I also was referring to a temporary spurt of activity, not a full move.

icandoanything 1 week ago

i agree with ur post/page but i think you misunderstood my point, not saying for people to go to obscure sites (i cant even find any) im saying make your own, foster your own community. I agree, jumping to site is annoying and does not work. But if your main hub is someone elses social media site, what are you going to do if it gets deleted? Your fans and everything will be gone, you have no back up.

icandoanything 1 week ago

Its getting so bad ive been seeing people move to TELEGRAM!!!!!! TELEGRAM!!!!!!!!!!! Oh just make your own site at that point. This cat and mouse game needs to stop somewhere

capyhaus 1 week ago

This section is not good to hold an actual conversation but I don't agree with you. Frankly a short blurb wasn't the space for a rant from a complete stranger. Because I've also mentioned how difficult it is to try to build a community by myself, get people to make websites, etc. and nobody jumping on board.

capyhaus 1 week ago

Putting your eggs in one basket is the real issue. I have a site as an archive or creative sandbox and have some socmed sites to talk to people, because I want to be in communities instead of working on a page 3 people will see and not join in. I'm not responding to this thread anymore when it's hell to look at on mobile lol.

Debating on how many Capy stickers to bring to TFF at the end of March... this site is functionally abandoned so it might be false advertising to give away all 100, maybe I should settle for 25 on Friday and see how it goes?

I'm too depressed and struggling irl to do anything creative. I won't delete the site because I don't want to throw away almost 4 years of work, but I just doomscroll instead now.

On second thought, another idea. You don't need to make a page use a layout if you don't want to, so if you just have a regular HTML file with your one-off style and no front matter, 11ty will just copy it over as-is.

problem is i tend to use the same layout, its more for one off tiny things like… my games layout on my about page or the table i use on my bookmarks :think:

i've SOMEHOW never had guinea pigs but degus make some similar vocalizations and it's adorable! they can be snuggly like rats, although that's less common even if they're still friendly. on average, they live a lot longer than rats, which is a major plus point. i can't begin to count how many times rats have broken my heart. ;__; degus are a lot less stinky than rats but they're also a lot messier, lol

to compare degus' longevity with rats: the oldest degu i had (Chappu) lived to about 8 years old. Deanna's about 6 now. Diego and Charlie were the most rat-like in temperament, but ironically and sadly the similarities even extended to both of them each suddenly dying young (≤2 years), but i suspect that was bc of genetic fuckery due to inbreeding. :<

The short lifespan of rats is why I can't have another :( Too much heartbreak in a short span of time. My late piggy lived to 5 years. I'm glad some pet rodents can live a decently long time.

It does not work better on desktop than on mobile. You are trying to play a 2007 Facebook trick and it will not work.

Fine, I guess I'm gonna need y'all to image the arrow is either pointing up or is non-existent, your choice. I haven't figured out who around here handles arrow issues unsolicited yet.

I "delisted" the runes because it's a retired section and I'm rethinking what I want to do with it.

I'm considering just leaving it online but "delisting" it, or even moving it to a different site somehow. But I've also felt frustrated navigating social spaces online and offline again and it might be worth returning to as an outlet to share "heterodox" thoughts.
