so not only is there an esoteric score being applied to my site that impacts engagement. but if I don't use the microblogging features of the site enough there's a FIFTY PERCENT PENALTY? that neocities itself doesn't tell you about?

the more I read into it the crazier it gets. so a bunch of randos gamed "the system" some years ago, and the solution was to implement a worse system that can still be gamed, but makes it so that new sites are effectively cordoned off from the wider community until they hit an unspecified amount of engagement points. nuts.
I am engaging with posts and using website features! Thanks for the TRUTH BOMB
There's a what? I knew it could never be simple. Good thing they can't throttle my main engagement bait of screaming my URL at random drunks in the street.
