no worries ! also i didnt mean to call your design minimalist in the previous post! its just that im always worried about my own site being too sterile-looking, and your post resonated a lot with me that the design aspect isn't my main point anyway :s

Te comprendo mucho con esta entrada, más que nada porque yo misma me he dado cuenta de que me desanimo por querer hacer algo lindo en lugar de querer seguir escribiendo, que se supone fue para lo que hice mi pagina en primer lugar y es como AGGGH x__X es dificil dejar esa "socialización" al estilo red social a la que para mal nos hemos acostumbrado y__y

aksdjsj si entiendo!! tampoco es que crea que esté mal querer que tu página se vea linda, yo también le dedico mucho tiempo a eso :P pero cuando no hay Nada detrás del diseño bonito y solo le prestamos atención a páginas que se vean bonitas siento que pierde un poco el sentido

¡Es muy interesante tu nueva entrada! También es algo en lo que he estado pensando por mucho tiempo. No es nuestra culpa, el mismo internet nos obligó a limitar nuestras palabras con todo eso del límite de caracteres. Es un poco complejo cuando hablamos de esa pérdida de atención y expresividad, porque podemos hablar del origen de este problema desde el Tumblr 2013, hasta el TikTok de hoy en día. ¡Me encantó tu blog!

me alegro que te haya gustado melody!! creo que nunca te comenté pero me gusta mucho leer tus blogs! siempre me pone contenta ver a gente hablando de cosas que aman o le apasionan y es ese el tipo de contenido que me gustaría ver más en neocities <3

I don't think your writing came across as mean, I completely understand where you're coming from! I do believe that social media conditions people to value visual art a lot more than writings just due to the fact that interactions as you put it are incredibly limited, I mean twitter is just 240 characters per message, and having spent a decade of my life on there it definitely stunted my ability not only to (1/1)

read long writings but my ability to articulate myself in a thoughtful way, and I feel like the same holds true for a lot of people just coming off of social media for neocities. I'm optimistic that people will unlearn their bad literacy habits from social media as did I, I think it'll just take time =D Until then I think writings like this that encourage people to write is a great start! (2/2)

i hope so too! im glad it doesnt sound mean Lol i guess i didn't want this to sound like "you can ONLY have a website if you write 1000-word essays in your blog" it's more like... about asking ourselves if we don't read/write because we don't want to, or because we are so used to short form content and minimal amounts of communication that we unconsciously avoid anything that requires a little bit more effort...

i have never related to a blog post so much... minimalist in design but maximalist in words. appreciate your honesty, looking forward to more.

new shrine!! :D i really loved researching this band... not only it's Very old but most of the info i found is in a language i do not speak, so for a few days it was only the internet archive, google translate and me against the world LOL. i love this band. i've been making new music and it's making me so happy to be able to sample them and take bits of their art with me to create something new.
