This place went way downhill, and fast. I used to love the community. it used to be a place where, while political discussion happened, and leftism was de facto the ideology at play, didnt have the aim of being in and of itself political or revolutionary. it shouldve stayed that way. hope everyone's doing well.

Hey there! We received your manifesto submission but the link you provided doesn't work. I can see it on your page but I'm not sure how to link to it. You provided this link: https://shadowfae.neocities.org/p/dir/home.html?link=/p/pl/manifesto.html but it doesn't take me anywhere :( Do you have a different link we could use?

https://shadowfae.neocities.org/p/dir/home?link=/p/pl/manifesto This should work! Neocities put through an update that removed the .html ending from the web address, and broke all my iframe hyperlinking like three days after I submitted. >.>; In the case that doesn't work either, just https://shadowfae.neocities.org/p/pl/manifesto will work, and I can reformat it onto its own page completely. ^^; Thanks!

The first link you provided works! Thank you! I think your manifesto is really well-written and it would be a shame to leave it out, so I'll get to adding it now!

Added "Manifesto for a New Web", derived from the practical experiences of the Yesterweb staff. I also updated the list of others' manifestos. If you submitted but you don't see yours, it may have fallen through the cracks! Feel free to submit again using the "submit your own" link on the page.

I look at it this way: since they've dropped the nostalgia/hobbyism focus, continuing to exist as 'Yesterweb' is useless/confusing. In hindsight, this probably should've happened a year ago when the mission of the staff (foster mass societal change, apparently?) started to diverge from that of the users (assist with website creation and socmed deprogramming)
I do rather agree. After hobbyism wasn't the focus as much anymore, it seemed like it lost its way.
