how do you guys feel about neocities profile pages? for me it feels super akin to social media and lowkey i kinda hate it. might disable this page but keep my site and communicate thru emails/guestbooks
to me it's the "good kind" of social media. not flashy, words and links, no ads, you only see stuff from people you follow. I'd be all over mainstream social media if it was all like this still
i also think it's nice.. i like that theres no algorithm and you just see posts in chronological order (like social media used to be) so you can only scroll so long until you see stuff you've already seen
I go back and forth.. I mostly use it as an update log, and (since most people don't have an RSS feed) it's nice to see when other sites update. it's also fun to send comments if someone doesn't have a guestbook set up, but I do get what you mean about it veering towards the social media ick sometimes. it def boosts your site's discoverability (if you care), so it's a double edged sword

I like it, and like barndoors, no ads or flashy links. It's nice to see what's new on other neighbors' websites
