Thank you! I love your gallery and the whole vibe of your site!

Do we have any idea how all of the laws that sre trying to passed would affect Neocities? Has Kyle made a statement at all?

in order to comply with the UK online safety act, neocities will either have to A: capitulate and do like everyone else, B: restructure into an 18+ only environment, or C: cease operations in the UK. atm there really isnt a good option esp since the uk is going to ban VPN's next.

ig a 4th option exists: try to fall through the cracks and don't change anything until the british authorities catch on.

"Due to local laws, we are temporarily restricting access to this content until X estimates your age."

The solution they offer is to pay them and thus automaticly give them banking details. Upload your ID and just give them everything that's on there. Do a sort of Live-selfie where you might be asked put on expressions to verify. Be lucky enough to have an account that's ancient. Or you should have been loud about your age from the start so their LLM could scan your profile for it.

(Still not being allowed more then 10 messages per day is a bit of a drag on this social part of the site. I know the profile and comment side is like, 5% of the site, but still)

Sure, I've started to loathe the whole site minus the people I follow and some small interactions I had and sometimes see. But we can't feed the place and people we dislike to an all consuming monster and hope it'll be done after that. I gotta stick up for the UK and large-parts-of-the European users of twitter on this one. I hate your platform, but I can't let dumbshits take it away from you.

these laws are an incredibly convienent way to track even more user data for profit, its really sick

(sick as in fucked up***)

Hello! I used to follow your blog under my previous account name, nighdreaming. I'm catching up with a new name and subprofile. It's nice to see your balcony garden doing well. I've neglected mine this year. No annuals for food, only blueberries. Can

Please look at this piece of revisionist history they have cooked up for us: https://www.collectiveshout.org/steam_campaign_history

YEEAAAAAGHHH. WOOOOOO

Keep in mind that Itch.io updated their FAQ with the following on July 26th: "If you've collected money while in violation of terms, we may be forced to refund or freeze all pending transactions, as accounts that are in violation of our terms are not eligible for payouts."

im irritated about stuff being removed for the obvious reasons of "censorship bad" but the one im most annoyed about is mouthwashing. you know that game that's an explicit critique of misogynistic men who do awful things and the people who support them. great job guys really doing feminism out here

I hope collective shout crashes and burns catastrophically

Im glad to see them blundering

I caught a reply the Itch.io account made to someone asking about Mouthwashing. Who ever handles the socials for Itch.io stated that the dev themselves removed the game from Itch.io a while ago and all they had on their page was a link to the steam version since then. I don't know if this is true.

@virtually-isolated ohhh, I see
