Neocities

i tried to download the marxist internet archive as a zim file for offline reading in kiwix and it confused me for a bot and the ip address i set my vpn set to got BANNED! i'm sorry. i guess it's good they have anti-ai measures, but the onion address wasn't working for a while. so i thought it'd be a good idea at that time

Thinking of moving off neocities. I like the people on here and will probably keep my account just to follow people. BUT I got a message weeks ago, saying they found my site through an AI. While I appreciated the compliments they gave my site & that they found my site, it kinda has me worried.

There's a case where an AI was asked about who a random adult performer with a stage name was and basically doxxed her. Now I'm not sure if I'd be doxxed per se. But I don't feel safe if AI can see my website even with the robots.txt.

I'm not sure whether I'd move to codeberg pages, nekoweb or only self host over I2P after the bot net situation gets sorted out. (There was a massive bot net attack over I2P recently which sucks but I2Pd works. So maybe I'll host my site over there? I'm not sure.)

i might take a break from here. that guestbook comment and then the following argument with a mutual here got me stressed out on top of my cat's kidney stones, the country getting even worse than it was before and fucking i2p having a ddos attack. peace

btw i'm gonna switch to i2pd until the botnet attack on i2p is over, since that seems to work better. i'm gonna try and figure out how to host my website over there tomorrow, just in case.

i decided to add a section about my ideology to my about page. since there was some confusion and someone thought i supported north korea, china, and the ussr even tho i also have anarchist in there too

i think a lot of people who only have a rudimentary understanding of leftist history see "anarcho-communist" and think i'm like a fusion of a ML and an anarchist when anarcho-communism is its own ideology with its own history and movements. it often criticized how some of the left relied too much on electorialism and wielding state power directly for socialism

this is not to say i think state socialists are bad people. just that i'm critical of all power structures that rely on authority to get things done

so you believe exactly what the United States' propaganda tells you, but for a woke reason this time?

yeah, i know about anarchy. i'm one of those too. i don't think we should be saying shit about what might be the only successful communist country ever until the United States has dissolved

lakestheguy 4 months ago

@benny1528132 idk which one you're referring to as the only successful communist country. also i didn't say anything about the specifics. to me, the idea that they're "communist" IS the american propaganda

i only said something because someone in my guestbook was really aggressive about how "i should be a socialist not a communist" nvm that most communists are socialists. the truth is i feel like i can't win with these discussions because if i try to have a nuanced opinion of "yes, the usa exaggerated certain things about these countries, but they're still not communist imo", i get backlash from multiple groups of ppl

if the american propaganda thing is about me mentioning rojava in my guestbook, i always had a bad feeling about them relying on the american military. plus ir a kurdish person complaining about how the western media ignored them being genocided in favor of this "spreading democracy" narrative. so no, that isn't me buying into western propaganda either
