Neocities.org

this was legit a spur-of-the-moment Whim that i Ran with, but i'm p serious about it lol. please check it out!

i think diaries hosted on neocities are fine, but the community built around the livejournals of yesteryear was truly incredible and fun

also i see ppl archiving 100x100 icons and i'm like "yaaas now let's use them on the journaling platforms they were made for" lmao. i also think it can be more convenient for making entries instead of manually doing everything but that's just me

did i get on this bc i, too, am making a 100x100 icon page? Perhaps...

the livejournal days were the best! totally creating an account.

they were so fun! oooooh what's your username? 👀

add me! killkilldi

i subbed and granted access! i'm sinew over there <3

i looked a bit into dreamwidth but i've never really used a platform like that before, what's the community there like?

that's a difficult question to answer because part of old journal-site culture is subcommunities within it? so the overall dreamwidth community i would say is unfortunately not very active because journaling platforms just aren't as popular ): but there's some sub-communities that flourish, like colors_tgc, and online trading card game! i think i'm going to make an article discussing various journaling platforms

[cont] and hope it helps explain what they used to be like and how we can revive them ;w;

https://neocities-users.dreamwidth.org/406.html 👀

no worries! ;w; maybe it happened because i recently changed usernames?

legit feel really bad to ever unfollow a neocities user but... :x

i do post status-y things here too but it's always related to my site or neocities or web dev in some way so i guess what i mean is on a platform specifically for web dev i wish my feed were devoted solely to web dev

also bc someone passive aggressively posted presumably about this post (which rubbed me the wrong way btw lol): this wasn't targeted at a specific user. this is a constant thing i'm seeing a lot of all across the site. like pages and pages of my feed being random stuff when i'm just trying to see what sites i follow have posted new content

anyway i guess i'll stop being a hypocrite and hush now but if you find i'm not following you it's probably related to this and it's not personal

Based. Would be a nice feature!

Totally understand; I've sadly unfollowed a couple people because their constant twitter-like updates were just too intrusive.

i feel you, seeing people use the feed like twitter is jarring lol

I think under "me" fits better!!

Better now than later, I always say! :3
