question for the neocities folks: do you share your website in traditional social media or in real life? what do you think about sharing it/not sharing it?

i share it with everyone i know IRL tbh!! i'm not on any social media anymore. i guess it kind of just depends on if you separate your online identity from your IRL identity. ppl IRL don't really "know" me as "kkb", but i also don't mind telling them that's who i am, and i'm not really trying to conceal my identity, either.

i do! i'm trying to build up my social media for my music & it's been a real strength in that sense, it helps u stand out. ppl who r interested love the site! those who don't care don't even care to read it... but i do feel like i have to be careful about what i share... the wrong eyes could always read it

I share it on ig and twt. The only person irl who knows about it is my sister, as far as I know.

Similar to KKB I share it with most people that I know comfortably IRL. It feels more like sharing a scrapbook than a journal, and they mostly only look once. I like to see who sticks around though, I have a few IRL friends who check it regularly. I don't really exist on any other socials, and even if I did I don't think I would feel comfortable sharing this with a large group of people I loosely know.

I've mentioned having a website to a few people IRL, but they didn't ask to see it and I didn't push the conversation in that direction. I'd like to start sharing my writing with people offline, though.

I quite enjoy seclusion... even if we omit that IRLs for me are few and far between this place is its own place, but I have that for socials too. I like my ridges and lines even if it's counterproductive

I've shared my site with close friends and coworkers. I haven't linked it on any social media just yet, though I'd like to do so in the future once I build up my art portfolio... I'm just worried about my site being more visible to bots and bad-faith actors, especially since I have input fields on it.

almost no one knows about my site irl, for me that's the whole point to have a separate space online from people from facebooks and such. I don't really want to show my silly stuff like some drawings from 20 years ago to people that I know from work or school xd I might share something only if it's actually useful or well written, but even then, on different domain, neocities is my sandbox for cringe coding!

similar w/ lankarta, i prefer to keep my url [largely english] and irl [largely estonian] existences/personas separate so i haven't shared about my site in local offline contexts, but i do have the link on most/all my socials - though not feeling as strongly about the separation now, maybe because of having been able to move out from my parents' this year & all...

I share my website mostly via email to people that I already know, and the portion that I share is a closed loop. They could navigate elsewhere on the website, but I don't think they have any reason to. Other than the traditional music stuff, I only share things via directly linking my friends to them. I don't consider there to be anything wrong with open invitations to view websites, but mine's super incomplete.

big update!!! finally revamped the main garden... it was one of the first pages i made, so it needed a revival. i also learned how to play audio, so be prepared to listen all the sounds effects i can possibly find. for now, only "the shed" and "the gazebo" are up in the main garden (cutting paper and gluing it together is surprisingly time consuming). however, you can still access to the other pages by this post :-)
