I always thought you could comment regardless if you were following or not

Hmmmm.... Ive def commented on sites that I follow who don't follow me and they haven't shown. Is there a setting/preference maybe?

I have commented on sites I don't follow and don't follow me, and it seems to work fine. Maybe there IS a secret setting but I don't know.

a week or two ago someone commented that they came across dev notes about a previously uncommunicated shadow ban mechanic neocities uses if X amount of users block you. could be something with that playing into it as well. i comment on sites i dont follow often

isnt there like a comment limit per day or something?

i ran into this once a while back and just assumed it was a "you can only comment if you're mutuals" kind of thing. /:

you can definitely comment regardless of whether or not you follow each other.

I queried this a while back, but it appears I can comment on people I don't follow again now.

it used to be that if you were blocked by 4+ ppl you could only comment on mutuals pages. this limit has been raise to 25, which is probably why you can comment on anyone's profile ^^

Ugh sucks to hear. Customer service is a make/break thing.

Halloween comes before GFD. 🎃

Just a rumor, but I heard somewhere that the Neocities support team is just Mr. Kyle Drake himself

I'm not sure the form even works. I tried and it just bounced back to the main page without much in the way of confirmation

this is so sick, I love it! Will push an update to my site with it today.

So glad you like it! :D
