you might like to know that the shadowban based off of number of people blocking you has been increased from 4 to 25! i imagine you are probably not shadowbanned anymore. pinkvampyr brought the tight limit up on the neocities github and that was kyles solution

I saw! I haven't tested it yet, but I'm very glad to see the change. Does feel like a bandaid on the problem instead of a true fix, though.

wrt how I got shadow banned, at least 4 people weren't a fan of me and blocked me (alternatively 1 person made a bunch of accounts and blocked me, but i have no evidence of this). the previous shadow ban system meant 4 or more blocks = shadow ban. the logic being if you're blocked by that many people you must be a jerk spouting hate speech or something.

The logic of shadowbanning people who have a certain number of bans makes sense, but you're right that some of it may be noiseif it's the same person banning someone multiple times. Anyway I'm happy the threshold got lifted.

Updated the guestbook with a new comment by Vera. Also tweaked.the layout table so it is interpreted as such by removing the hd tags and adding a summary attribute. Will reformat the entire thing to not use a table in a future update.

okay! Kyle responded to my github and upped the "jerk filter" count to 25 blocks! https://github.com/neocities/neocities/issues/467#issuecomment-1742163909 I still think it's not a great system but lots of people should be unshadowbanned now or soon! spread the word!

i feel like it would make sense if the threshold for the jerk filter scaled with the number of followers you have..... follower count seems like a good enough measure for reputation

I don't understand how you got banned in the first place.

so glad its raised but 25 still feels too low for a punishment that is basicly given out by USERS 😭 it definitely should scale with follower count at least

Added the article HTML tag around the blog posts and tested they all work on my phone (causes the View in Simplified Mode prompt upon scrolling).

seeing people rec catbox as an alternative to hosting on discord so I'll say it here again: catbox is blocked in multiple countries, if you host your stuff on there people from other places may not be able to see it without a VPN

can catbox just die already anyway....I hate using that website its so creepy. I would never recommend anyone use it. hosting onsite is almost always better. loads faster too. you're not gonna run out of space unless you're hosting like. videos.

PSA: don't host your images on discord, apparently they are going to change urls to prevent hotlinking, but even if that doesn't turn out to be true just host your images on site anyway. if you don't rely on image hosts you don't have to worry about all your image links breaking!

Aww, thank you! And if you're referring to the synesthesia page, it's nice to find someone else! I've only ever met one or two other folks sharing that synesthesia type, and I suspect it's because it's subtle enough that most folks don't realize it's not everyone's experience (particularly when spatial metaphors are often used for music).

I know this is not something people WANT to think about, but I'd highly recommend looking into other sites hosts for if/when neocities ever shuts down. neocities is far from your only option! there are many places you can host your site for FREE and still maintain a presence on neocities but not being dependent on it!

the plan has always been go to self-hosted once i find the resources to host a server 24/7 with consistent uptime. PHP seems "fun"

this is actually something i've been thinking about a lot recently. it would be nice to host my website + the git repo myself so i don't have to worry about hosts shutting down or corporations yanking them away once they stop being profitable. i would host a minecraft server also

I’ve heard Nearly Free Speech is also a good service. I’m happy on Neocities for now but it’s very important to not be married to your web host. And ALWAYS have a local backup of your site!!!

@whiona I host my own site on NFS- they've been fantastic, but you definitely need to be comfortable with SSH / remote file management, as there's not a graphical interface for site file management. It's very DIY and I like that about it, but it might pose a problem for others.

Just been catching up with some of your recent posts. Sorry to hear you've been having issues with what seems to effectively be a shadowban. Also appreciated the reader mode article. My site seems to be mostly compliant, but I'll be sure to double check for any issues.

Your site's one of the few I don't usually use reader mode on, funny enough. It's not overly busy visually and the text width is good, so it's easy for me to follow. I only ever flip it on for you when dark mode really isn't working for me that day. (Incidentally, if you added a @media (prefers-color-scheme) light mode, I'd be thrilled).

Yeah I try to keep things simple and accessible. Implementing light/dark mode @media preferences was on my to-do list, so you can probably expect to see that pretty soon :-)

Hey there! wanted to say thank you for the reader mode article. Didn't know about it before and it makes reading stuff much easier for me (espacially on mobile). I did my best to enable it on most pages on my site (I'll probably go back to try wrangle the stray few that won't cooparate). So yeah- thanks! and you have a cool site!
