Recently found out from brachypelmide that I'm following 192 people. The cool thing about that is that it's actually not overwhelming at all, because most people don't update their site every single day. If I was following 192 people on a standard social app where people can't really do anything but post, I would probably be drowning

That's what makes Neocities such a goated place. The people here are a lot more creative and they also know when to take breaks from the internet
this is so real, im following so many people because i genuinely like their sites and want to see when they update, but my feed is not at all overhwelming. granted some people have not updated their site in years, but if they do come back I'll still be able to see it!
I like it because it’s a much more realistic depiction of a creative process. Social media encourages it to be fast and perfect but this format lays out a nice realistic timeline
Yeah this also makes art get burried as well, there's a reason why you see people repost their own stuff, in addition you can still see their changes later if you visit again which I like
i had beans today respect
It's been the biggest breathe of fresh air to consume with intent, verses the mindless slog of being fed. I'm so grateful for neocities!
