Love the blog touching on Reader Mode! I use it a lot myself and I'm glad to see more awareness of it out there.

you might like to know that the shadowban based off of number of people blocking you has been increased from 4 to 25! i imagine you are probably not shadowbanned anymore. pinkvampyr brought the tight limit up on the neocities github and that was kyles solution

I saw! I haven't tested it yet, but I'm very glad to see the change. Does feel like a bandaid on the problem instead of a true fix, though.

Your poems are very good. Also didn't know the way I play guitar wasn't normal until I found the secret page about sound. Very strange!

Aww, thank you! And if you're referring to the synesthesia page, it's nice to find someone else! I've only ever met one or two other folks sharing that synesthesia type, and I suspect it's because it's subtle enough that most folks don't realize it's not everyone's experience (particularly when spatial metaphors are often used for music).

That Moebius program you linked is pretty sweet. Here's a little gift :D https://i.imgur.com/ParnyIf.png

Woah, thank you! This is 100% going up on my fursona page- do you have a preferred link to credit you with?

Just been catching up with some of your recent posts. Sorry to hear you've been having issues with what seems to effectively be a shadowban. Also appreciated the reader mode article. My site seems to be mostly compliant, but I'll be sure to double check for any issues.

Your site's one of the few I don't usually use reader mode on, funny enough. It's not overly busy visually and the text width is good, so it's easy for me to follow. I only ever flip it on for you when dark mode really isn't working for me that day. (Incidentally, if you added a @media (prefers-color-scheme) light mode, I'd be thrilled).

Yeah I try to keep things simple and accessible. Implementing light/dark mode @media preferences was on my to-do list, so you can probably expect to see that pretty soon :-)

Hey there! wanted to say thank you for the reader mode article. Didn't know about it before and it makes reading stuff much easier for me (espacially on mobile). I did my best to enable it on most pages on my site (I'll probably go back to try wrangle the stray few that won't cooparate). So yeah- thanks! and you have a cool site!

I'm glad I could help! It really is a hidden button sometimes, isn't it? Best of luck getting those last few to cooperate, and thanks for putting in that effort (and for the compliment)!

Your autistic adulthood blog post just made me connect the dots on my own childhood speech therapy. It was "s" and "th" for me!

I think I might've struggled with those too, but I'm not sure! It's neat to hear that other people have had similar experiences though haha
