neocities guide - why you should build your own html website
do you miss the charm of the 90s/00s web where sites had actual personality instead of the same minimalistic theme? are you feeling drained by social media and the constant corporate monopoly of your data and time? do you want to be excited about the internet again?
try neocities!!
what is neocities?
neocities is a free hosting website that lets you build your own html website from scratch, with total creative control. in their own words:
"we are tired of living in an online world where people are isolated from each other on boring, generic social networks that don't let us truly express ourselves. it's time we took back our personalities from these sterilized, lifeless, monetized, data mined, monitored addiction machines and let our creativity flourish again."
why should I make my own website?
web3 has been overtaken by capitalism & conformity. websites that once were meant to be fun online social spaces now exist solely to steal your data and sell you things. it sucks!!
building a personal site is a great way to express yourself and take control of your online experience.
what would I even put on a website?
the best part about making your own site is that you can do literally whatever the hell you want! focus on a specific subject or make it a wild collection of all your interests. share your art! make a shrine for one of your interests! post a picture of every bird you see when you step outside! make a collection of your favorite blinkies! the world is your oyster !!
here are some cool example sites to inspire you:

Since my most recent post made a few people aware that I might not be a big fan of certain usages of machine learning and image generators, I felt I should make one thing clear. Again. uwu
✧・゚: ✧・゚:Fuck AI.:・゚✧:・゚✧
✧・゚: ✧・゚:Fuck NFTs.:・゚✧:・゚✧
✧・゚: ✧・゚:Fuck people who claim AI regurgitated images are "art".:・゚✧:・゚✧
✧・゚: ✧・゚:And especially fuck people who tag it as "traditional art" or "artists on tumblr".:・゚✧:・゚✧
✧・゚: ✧・゚:You are nothing else but scalpers and scammers and I will never support you.:・゚✧:・゚✧
✧・゚: ✧・゚:Don't like this? Well, lucky you! This is not an airport and you can leave without having to notify anybody about your departure! The unfollow button is there for a reason! <;3 :・゚✧:・゚✧
i love how if it were any other chartacter raph going:
"you know [thing] doing [thing it does] is so magical/wonderful"
would be cause to question if he's doing okay mentally
but he's just so happy to be feeling and experiencing things again
so instead of causing donnie and casey mental crisis, it is making them happy and appriciative of the small things
because raph is rediscovering and apprieciating the small things
Oh yes. The funny thing is that drawing this episode makes me constantly stop and acknowledge the little things myself. I can feel the wind on my skin, I can lie down on a soft bed, I can eat a sweet treat. And every time I do, I imagine it's ...like...the very first treat I've had in years. And I think about how wonderful it is and how happy it makes me
I hate that planned obsolescence is starting to reach fandoms. I hate that fandoms are starting to die after two, three years, I hate that whenever you stop getting content that means the fandom will die and be gone.
I need people to stop trying to brush off old interests as being 'cringe' as soon as you lose interest, or worse: make it seem like it's imoral to like something that they themselves held so dear before.
Fandoms are meant to last for years and years, the moment content stops being created is the moment we truly thrive because we keep creating the content ourselves the way we love it and expand on the things that are already there for us.
I don't care if you lost interest on something, it's fine and normal even, but stop trying to blame and make fun of people who still do love the fandom and the content and the things we can create.
I need people to enjoy fandom again
