Don't take the edge too seriously. It's like a goth song; you gotta glorify suicide and slitting wrists in your music video, or else it doesn't fit with the aesthetic. 🤣

You don't have to read anything you don't like. I do say I'm intolerable on the "About me". I kinda like reading complaints and stuff. If you wanna get it out of your system feel free to shoot me an email, and I'm also on Facebook/Skype/XMPP if you prefer instant messaging. I know tumblr's pissy so peeps learn to vagueblog / hide stuff, but I like it explicit and straightforward, that's how I make friends. 😎

You'll probably like this given your "rambling" https://indieweb.org/wiki It's more about dynamic sites than static ones but they express some of the same woes. If you can't quit social media you might consider using POSSE to cross post. The wiki describes the theory behind it. (I personally just deleted my Tumblr and other accounts)

Thanks! I'm giving it a thorough look-over and this wiki seems to detail the stuff I've been thinking for a while now. I'm happy to quit social media slowly/in my own way, but there's a lot here and it looks like I have some reading material 🤘

Have fun. It links to many example websites too, and it was a great inspiration for finally having my own site.

I love the IndieWeb concepts, but sadly, its technical aspects are fragmented and unstable as fuck. You could either use half-broken WordPress plugins or spend weeks implementing all the stuff on your own.

Or just build your nice neocities page, stick some RSS/Atom on it, and call it a day.

They seem active, but they probably update once a month, so you might have to wait a bit longer.
