i regret to inform some of y'all public personal websites don't offer much in ways of boundaries. i don't mean this in a catty or sarcastic way, i mean literally you can't really stop the ppl on your "byf" or "dni" lists from accessing your old-web styled site or linking it. you've mistaken neocities for a social media platform, when it's a hosting service
literally from the tos: You understand that information available to you through Neocities may include materials that are unedited, sexually explicit or offensive to you and that your access to such materials is at your own risk. Neocities and its affiliates hereby disclaim any responsibility for or control over such materials.
they DO have anti harassment, threat, and harm to minors clauses, but another user linking your website even if they're a proshipper or part of a cult or w/e doesn't count
a user you don't like linking your site: not harassment. someone in particular leaving several nasty messages on your profile feed: harassment. i can give more examples as necessary
another example is i didn't like seeing the a blinkie that says "i h8 r slur" on someone's site, but like. i can't really do much about it except click the x on my browser and otherwise ignore that site. because it's on their site neocities wouldn't consider it harassment or threatening so they won't do anything about it either
When people say "this is my private website" it kind of makes me laugh because no. Neocities is not private. Even if you password protect your website. There is no backend support for neocities if you want a private website don't publish it onto the internet.
