I’d like to interact with people on neocities more.. I’m just tired and a situation involving another user in the past year freaked me out so I’ve been withdrawn
same, but i do think some people delete their accounts sometimes. i try not to let the social media norms of having to interact with followers to keep them get in the way of enjoying this platform though
don't worry too much about the numbers. it goes up and down all the time because people turn their profiles off. if someone unfollows you because you didn't f4f, they weren't interested in you or your work anyway so it's not a loss.
i feel like nc has a strong "follow for follow" culture---i've followed people who immediately follow me back, and then i lose interest in their site, unfollow, and they'll unfollow pretty quickly. enough people turn on/off profiles & delete their websites, which continues to mess with follow counts.
Thank you everyone! This has given me solid theories! Ultimately it's nothing to worry about- I've just been curious for awhile!
YOUR ART IS SOOOOOOO GOOD UGH
ah thank you so much T_T i really appreciate these words.. it means so much..
