Might expand this into a proper page/post at some point, but it irks me when people talk about personal sites as the "small web". God, no! If anything, the “small web” is social media, where there are, like, four websites and they're each filled with screenshots of the other three. There's a whole wide world out there; nowt “small” about it

The same goes for “the old web” — Facebook is older than half the sites on my linkroll, after all. (If i was the CEO of people-who-still-have-personal-websites-in-2023-for-some-reason i'd call it “the free web” in analogy with “the free world”, but that’s liable to get confusing and honestly i’m not sure it’s a coherent movement in the first place)

I'm not sure if that was ever the intended meaning, but I always thought "small web" referred to the size of the webpage, like the idea being that these are small websites that can be maintained by a single person as a non-job, as opposed to "the large web", consisting of content mills run by professionals and social media sites compiling the work of millions of users

With this definition, I think the term works pretty well. Either way, I prefer it over "old web", because that term is kind of geared towards those pages which persue a retro aesthetic, which is only a fraction of the "small web" or whatever you wanna call it. Plus I'm sick of Nostalgia. I say we just call it the "cooler web" and be real smug about it

ive been using "old web" as the in-universe term for smth ive been working on but i may switch that because its a little lame to tether it to "nostalgia" and shit like that. i definitely second "cool web" as a term for this collective zone of the internet, it's just fun.

i figured that "old web" was in reference to nostalgia for "web 1.0"/geocities era, which is clearly what motivates the majority of people who make websites here to be honest

Maybe "the Grassroots Web" is more appropriate here.

This has been floating around for a while, between forum posts, Discord messages, and DeviantArt uploads, but figured i’d finally give it a “canonical” home on the site.

The Galerij has received its first batch of new works — featuring a deadnamed cis man, AI art, the prophet Muhammad, and most controversial of all: cat pictures.

Woof, looks like Neocities’ screenshot machine doesn’t like the video — rest assured it should all work as normal on the actual page :-)

I’m deeply disappointed the otherkin catgirl who hacked the no-fly list didn’t have a Neocities. It could have been the greatest moment in the history of this website
