im not sure about divsel, but federiefederi was a clout-chasing scheme where a couple of people were trying to get to the number 1 spot on the special sauce algorithm by manipulating the stats.

While I know about Federiefederi (a website that showcases underrated neocities websites, but backfired due to the reason badgraph1csghost said), I still have no idea what happened to divsel despite having seen their site before. I checked various sources but nobody fully explains the situation.

I wouldn't take Suboptimalism seriously, seeing as despite claiming to be against societal ideas of productivity, they use "autistic" as an insult in their actual manifesto and are pretty blatantly ableist to their brother. I ran into them before and was like "uh, what the fuck, being ableist is against your mission statement!" I can't help with the tech stuff, but figured you should know.

if they're trying to use "autistic" to mean the sheldon cooper rigid type and use that personality as an example of what they're against, that's...still ableist, and any site claiming to be against societal ideas of normality and efficiency and stuff shouldn't be using a neurotype as a derogatory term in their manifesto or as a metaphor for being pro-capitalism which is what they seem to be doing

"reject autism, be schizotypal" as if Elon Musk and the whole notion of "productivity" is what autism means and it isn't an actual fucking neurotype which is just as negatively affected by 'optimalism' as everyone else...also, the glorification of another actual neurotype as an ideal isn't cool either. > https://suboptimalism.neocities.org/writings/manifesto

I guess this has nothing to do with Neocities mechanics, but I just feel like you should know

several nested levels of skeletons in the closet on this host lmao

@draggianuniverse oh damn, thanks for letting me know!
