Neocities

Reflected on my site's guiding principle over the past year on neocities (create what only you can) and how much this little web dev hobby has enriched my life: https://lostletters.neocities.org/2023/10/18/one-year-neocities

I have had this exact same mindset for about two years now. I started much in the same way as you, just wanting something cute... and then created something that is truly my own!

Ohhh, this blog post genuinely touched me up! The honesty of your sentiments are really exciting, and have a way of reigniting excitement and passion too! What really resonated with me is the potential within yourself that you described, and how you were able to channel it into something you truly! It's so exciting to think about what dwells inside each person, if we give ourselves the patience and grace to try!! ♡♡

Thanks so much for the love on this post! I'm so happy it resonated. I love discovering sites that earnestly speak to a unique part of the author's life and experience. We all have that within us, and it's amazing that we all have websites where we can express that if we choose. I'm rooting for all of us!

Your halloween page is looking so delightfully festive! I was so happy to see a pumpkin for the community patch. I can't wait to see what everyone does with that template. :D I can't wait to trick or treat on your page!

Thanks for the follow and the kind guestbook message! I really liked the badge you have for dragon cave, so I will definitely have to add that to my site too. I clicked on all your dragons! Hope they hatch soon :)

love that the terf webring pretends "we don't police your site" but then they can "reserve the right to remove and exclude sites at our discretion" and they have a "vetting process" that includes denying ppl with anti-terf rhetoric or that use "gender" and list pronouns lol

i'm not judging anyone who's not a terf for being a member considering they conveniently don't mention that in their rules or anything which is part of what annoys me about it. they're pretending to be an in general webring when really it was created for an agenda, then they wonder why members would get callouts. (not saying the callouts are always appropriate since, again, the webring tries to not be transparent)

anyway i'm not trying to make neocities about "politics", but i am down for people who are joining a webring to know what they're accidentally associating themselves with. my umbrage is that it's insidious to just not come out and say what your intentions are. i myself almost applied for membership and i would have been upset to only find out after the fact

i'm a cis woman who doesn't hate trans people and i am 30 or 40 years old and i do not need this. anyway if you're a member of women of the internet and wonder why people ask you if you're a terf it's bc it was created by and for terfs and you met their standards by not saying your pronouns or whatever

i did not even know that a terf webring exists

strawberry-gashes 1 year ago

oh, and you're a member of it and a terf, good for you or w/e. but umbrage is unrelated ppl who aren't being associated with your rhetoric bc the mods are too chickenshit and insidious to publicly state what their intentions were in creating it

strawberry-gashes 1 year ago

@ruralrose it's bc they don't acknowledge that they are publicly. it's not even an iykyk eye narrowing sitch on my end. the creator flat out said in a thread they made it for terfs, and that applicants are thoroughly checked to keep out "trannies/pronouns/scrotes." ie it's supposed to be a webring for cis women who don't believe trans women are women

strawberry-gashes 1 year ago

oh and fun fact: they then turn and question why current members would be let in if they're "mogaitards" (a mix of a phrase coined by a pedophilic abuser and an ableist slur.) ie, they also like. shit on the women for not womaning the way they want them to. ✨ feminism ✨

@pizzacatdelights i'm so sorry to hear that ): this is exactly what i'm so irritated about, folks accidentally being associated with rhetoric they don't follow. i imagine if you email them and respectfully ask if you can leave they'll comply

also: nobody feel bad if you joined and weren't aware. it's on them for not just being upfront. you were essentially tricked into associating with it

@strawberry-gashes and the funny thing about that is my about me page, does have a pronoun list and on my DNI section, TERFs was one of them. Surprised that they didn't see that! And I did send them email to delete my website and then blocked their email too.
