The total scope so far seems really ambitious, I respect it. Actually really, really like the currently minimal content-first look you have going right now, hope you keep it even as the site progresses.

When looking at a "gallery" type page with thumbnails that take you to a full view when clicked, do you use the back button on your browser to go back or would you want a "BACK" button on the page itself?

sakana 6 months ago

I always use browser back so I didn't design my galleries here and on Keltokel with back buttons. I recently learned this really, really annoys some people and I'm wondering if I should edit all 70 of those pages to have one.

tojisworld 6 months ago

I think it would help having a back button. Another option would be to switch to lightbox

While i read through, however, please think of a song that you think best represents the story. It could be any song of your choosing, so long as it is on Spotify, which i hope is broad enough. (I have a devious little plan for these)

Sometimes observing the Neocities feed leads to a feeling of "jesus, the kids are annoying" but I quickly realized that's a valuable thing. Truly intergenerational spaces on the web are really rare in present day.

When I was 14 (circa 2003) and a regular of some forums and chatrooms, they had a common feature: the same channels were occupied by both grown adults and inexperienced children who spoke to each other. You got the sense there was a divide by age - all the kids/teens were friends with each other and all the adults stuck to themselves, but I learned a lot being in that environment and it helped me mature.

There's movies, bands, books etc I never would've known otherwise. And there were times I needed someone older to tell me I was being silly and needed to chill out about something. And I needed to know the 75 year old lady who lived in a retirement village and spent all day drawing cats on MS paint to understand you can do whatever you want and life only ends when you're dead.

older people on the internet are the biggest reason I'm still on the internet now. If i hadn't been exposed to adults doing fun, cute, childish things i probably would've given up all my hobbies at the end of highschool to try and be "more mature" like everyone else did

^ Great point. Only counter to the feeling of "oh man these things near and dear to my heart are too childish, am I supposed to discard them and move on?" is to see adults participating in those hobbies, having fun and doing fine.

Look at personal page feed, notice a good chunk of people I follow are moving to nekoweb. I was a little skeptical at first and assumed bandwagoning (you know, when people migrate because of site culture or something like that) but the supporter tier there costs half what it does here and gives you more!

I doubt I'll jump ship but I've considered making a mirror at least to see what it's like.

2 likes

sakana 8 months ago

Yeah, I think that's understandable. Something that's been bothering me since I started paying for Neo is the complete absence of the site's creators and no direct support. That is a big reason for me to think about it.

I don't think anything will happen to Neocities (hopefully) since it's been online for a decade, but I also don't want to put all my eggs in one basket.

I'd been meaning to look for a bit of a cheaper host (gotta pay rent now :') ), and it looks like they allow nsfw also so thanks for posting about this!

I'm in no rush as I had been jumping from host to host for a few years before settling on Neocities. Though it's nice to know there are still options out there.

I might set up a mirror as well. As much as I like Neocities, there is next to no development which doesn't really make the hosting worthwhile.

I took a look at that too a while back - it's made by people from here! I avoided a mirror in the end because when I mentioned it somone dm'd me the drama between the devs and it put me off. Leprd is my personal fave free host but they're not taking on newcomers unfortunately.

Is there any way to mass delete things on Neocities...

pixelglade 11 months ago

Don't think so. When I had to delete my site to make up a mirror I remember having to manually click through folders to manually delete things.

You could use something like bashcities or push-to-neocities and edit the settings so the missing files would be deleted from your Neocities account. Bashcities has issues with deleting folders, dunno about push-to-neocities.

Every day my soul withers because the absolute maximum internet speed I can get at my place, physically, is 60mbps. Living in Australia is great for everything except this, it's an internet black hole.

For non-Aussies who don't know the political context: this is a 10+ year long INTENTIONAL sabotage by Rupert Murdoch and the Liberal party to purposefully hamstring internet for Australians because people were starting to stream and read news online instead of buying physical papers, watchin television and buying cable.

Read your reply to my status post just now, hopefully you don't mind me answering this way. I wouldn't call the drama a Neocities problem, or a problem unique to any site where people can interact with one another, but it's sad to see community problems affect you this way. You're not obliged to interact with others but the fact that anything you say or do can get taken out of context does take a toll on someone.

I'm by no means someone who is immune to Internet gossipmongering, but I usually try to delve deeper into rabbit holes. Usually, I find out most people aren't as evil as a lot of folk would want you to believe. Dunno your exact situation, but it's a bummer to see you reluctant to interact. For all it's worth I always found you to be quite pleasant.

Apologies for the extremely late reply, I was on the road for the better part of a month :P thank you for your sincere thoughts. You are probably right to say that there's not especially more drama here than other places, but the last time I remember seeing this number of "callout"-type things was 2014 Tumblr! Then I remember a lot of my mutuals (and their mutuals and so on in the wider circle) are super young and >

Nothing quite like trying to do the right thing and help a mutual (elsewhere, not here) in need when they're struggling and begging for mutual aid, only to learn that you've been scammed out of $150 USD lol.
