"your personal website is too boring" discourse pisses me off because nobody here makes a site solely for another person's enjoyment, doesn't that defeat the whole point of the indieweb. don't know where we got this mindset that things are only valid if they stimulate your eye holes

can you use the Opera browser? I use its free built-in VPN when browsing neocities and forums to avoid this!

I use NordVPN because I got a deal on it from a YouTuber back in the day. It works fine for this sort of thing. But I agree it sucks so bad to see so many websites become purple gradient boxes without one :'(

could it be possible that neocities is using a bot to ban people because i’ve heard so many talk about how their sites were randomly deleted with no explanation

this is setting a really depressing future for neocities, a site that prides itself on being an outlet for expression shouldn’t be banning people this easily. now i feel like i’m in a minefield

i havent heard of this at all, and considering sites can also be used as an archive, this worries me now

I find that this is similar to when an artist online feels forced to go with what is trendy in able to be seen/game the an algorithm. Sites should be made for fun and should be creative freedom! thats the whole reason on why I stopped using social media so much. I felt like I was trying to to please others, which made me feel less happy with what I made.
oops sorry for all the typos!!!
