i've decided to remove the webring from my webring list because i don't want to advertise it. here is proof of the creator being a TERF btw: https://cabbagesorter.net/diary/2025-11-13-some-politisperging-to-start-the-day-with thanks to the lovely person who sent me this!

You can block the creator here: https://neocities.org/site/cabbagesorter (The "Block user" link is in the right sidebar below the tags)

Thank you for the heads up on this. They've been blocked.

damn. just emailed to get my site off the directory. wonder if there is a similar (but trans-friendly) ring?

Oh god. I feel bad for those who don't know she's a piece of shit, but thanks for that heads up. Definitely putting that one on the blocklist.

i never heard terf before what is it?? i know transphobic but never heard terf

@four-shrine "Trans Exclusionist Radical Feminism" to sumarize a bunch of losers that hate trans people and claim they're doing it to "protect women"

@samsolarsystem ohhh thank you!

oh my god, i had no idea. this makes me very ashamed for joining. definitely going to be asked to be removed, so thank you for this heads up!!!

I was interested in joining some webrings, and this is one of the ones I was looking at - very useful heads-up, thank you! Protect the dolls at all costs <3

thank you for sharing this, i have removed it and asked to be officially taken off the site!

Thank you for sharing. I've informed other webmasters in the communities I'm in of this. I appreciate you also adding evidence as well.

ty for sharing, this is really unfortunate. for anyone looking for women-centric webrings that are trans-inclusive i know ladies of the link (https://ladiesofthe.link/) is trans-inclusive.

glad to see this bc I'd mentally bookmarked it as something to add to my site later (when I get to the point of doing my webrings etc), but now I know to avoid this one. ugh.

I joined the webring (Nova's Corner/pastel-skies.nekoweb.org), but I had NO idea the owner was a TERF and transphobic. I'll be removing it off my site and blocking the user on here too. Thanks for the heads up, that sucks to know this I thought it was just a fun little niche thing only for the owner to be a scumbag.

thank you for sharing! I am definitely removing myself off of this webring.

Thank you for bringing this to everyone's attention, Petra - trans rights are human rights and that is never a question.

I'm a woman of the internet (respecting trans mtf) and where is my button

saying "Am I committing violence by saying this???" after a lot of vile transphobic shit sure is a phrase. and then followed by that transmisogynystic comment. i am fucking blocking her right away. at least she didn't shy away from being an asshole so it was easy to spot her

Thanks, I joined the webring.

If you have ideas for more filters comment them here :) Oh also btw I coded this whole thing in React and i'm proud of that hehe!

this is awesome! seeing my webring (which code was designed by you) on here made me put all this into perspective. the people with hundreds of thousands or millions of visits are really just like me, a bunch of passionate people who want to foster a community and share a part of themselves. GREENSKIN CEO APPROVED!

this is absolutely amazing thus far! can't wait to see the indie website list be integrated :,D I've already sent mine over!

Me, staring at the google form then at my 88x31 that isn't an image but instead made entirely of code: Oops

@diremptiness damn i didn't even think about this possibility, sorry :O

this is awesome! ive submitted both my sites; btw is this the react project youve been talking about?

@tofutush yess it is !! :D

It's all good lol! I'm very well aware that my whole shtick is BS and inconvenient

Do you plan on making a button for the database? I would love to put it on my website!! I'm part of this RSS site that catalogue's RSS feeds & they have a cool button. I just think that'll be a cool way to make it accessible on people's site to display & rep the database!!

@nogginzmart yess, button will be up with the next update! :]

if he diremptiness doesn't feel cheated, I have this https://pirahxcx.neocities.org/assets/images/88x31-collection/diremptiness.avif

my problem to submit was the zalgo text on my site's title, makes it over 50 characters even though it's just diacritics

@pirahxcx ahh thank you! i'm gonna add it manually :)

it's here! https://petrapixel.neocities.org/indiewebdb/

here's stuff i have gotten hate comments for: being polyamorous, liking fictional gore, sharing my hogwarts house, venting on my own personal blog, linking to my youtube channel, sharing my experience with sexism, and the list goes on.

the audacity some people have to think that i will change my website because they personally do not enjoy a part of it is absolutely insane and i know there's a lot of kids on neocities that probably don't know better but i don't have the patience for this stuff anymore .

now to end this on a positive note, look at me and my partner at pride! <3 https://piclog.blue/image.php?id=8658

also, for those who don't know, neocities has a block feature (go to somebody's profile, the "block user" link is right beneath their website's tags in the right sidebar). use it instead of sending hate.

Oh no

well said.

Why are people like this tho...

being polyamorous is really cool, dont let the haters get you down

people love to comment on polyamory like its ANY of their business LMAO...

tell em!

real asf

people will always find something to complain about!! its so annoying... im so sorry you had to go through this

Well said.

I feel like having our own sites is our way to share and express ourselves; it should feel like a haven, not a place where we have to worry about hate. Plus, I love seeing blogs that are different from mine! Who wants to see the same old thing on every page? Being different from others is awesome! Makes the world much more interesting.

As much as it sucks that you need to say this, yeah, tell 'em!!

Maybe the issue is that people who aren't familiar with how the web used to be expect every personal website to be just as curated, blended to default slop and sterilised as major social media platforms

@crota-gurdy absolutely, it's the twitter-ification of the web

a language category would be cool! i only post in spanish and i feel a bit awkward joining webrings that are mainly in english

I doing know how specific you want this filter to be, or how feasible it would be, but maybe nonfiction, original fiction, fan fiction, poetry, and general writing. Then filter it down further by tropical that make up most of the site, like specific fandoms, Mary-Sure articles, articles about the craft of writing, or genres (romance, Western, etc.).

One thing that may not have already been mentioned are sites dedicated to certain beliefs or practices (Christianity, wicca, Islam, Hinduism, paganism, Buddhism, etc.) or research into metaphysical or occult topics.

I think language, content type and aesthetic would fit

华人呢？只有我在这里吗？(Where are the Chinese / Chinese diaspora here? Am I the only person of Chinese ethnicity here?)

a responsive category would be nice I think!

fandoms, interests, AGE please I'd love to interact with adults

Repeating my previous comment: accessibility, specifically flashing lights and readable text (dark text on a light background or vise versa)

language &/or content type maybe

whoops sorry, i forgot to reply to your comment! i'm gonna reply in the comments of the tutorial page ! :)

I can only think of the word pink or cute ;p i thrive on those kinds of aesthetics but i personally like an *all-salad* and take a peek at all sort of websites.

mostly i'd filter by theme/aesthetic like retro, pixel art, OS themed websites... and by content like hobbies, art, programming, music.... for me those would be the most useful

I think thatd be neat! Some sites are more blog, some more gallery!

content type for sure. i wanna see stuff sorted as blogs, artist portfolios, webcomics, graphics hoards, hobby related, etc.

websites that are accessible :] e.g. don't have flashing lights

adding onto spider-incarnate's comment: has readable text (dark text on a light background or vise versa)

idk if anyone else would want this, but would a directory of webrings also be on the table? i browse those a lot and it feels kind of weird to ask you to include tags that are just webring things ahaha. i think others have mentioned most stuff i'd want- maybe whether there's a social (non cbox/guestbook) aspect, like forums, or oekakis?

it has to be sr. pelo, blogs, art, writing, music, LGTBQA+ terms (it’s june), sr. pelo again, spooky, spooky month, christmas, etc etc. I’d love the shitpost tag tho, I love me a good shitpost

@trashville i actually already have a list of webrings! they really only have categories though https://petrapixel.neocities.org/coding/webring-list

sites that include a toybox/pixel art adoptables, pages about pets and/or gardening, OC's/worldbuilding, collections, and hobbies (all the things i could think of off the top of my head lol) would be neat to see in the keywords/organization system!

content type, ocs and worldbuilding for example! maybe genre...?

If this Theoretical filter existed I would prolly scroll through anything with original stories/characters, art decorative site themes in general, computer programming, and any sort of creative works at all ! I would also be so happy to see other eng&esp people of the web 😁

aesthetics like frutiger aero!

Maybe difficult to categorise, but I'd like to filter based on "image-heavy" vs "text-heavy."

languages would be so cool as someone who love learning languages!!
