Neocities

Just been catching up with some of your recent posts. Sorry to hear you've been having issues with what seems to effectively be a shadowban. Also appreciated the reader mode article. My site seems to be mostly compliant, but I'll be sure to double check for any issues.

Your site's one of the few I don't usually use reader mode on, funny enough. It's not overly busy visually and the text width is good, so it's easy for me to follow. I only ever flip it on for you when dark mode really isn't working for me that day. (Incidentally, if you added a @media (prefers-color-scheme) light mode, I'd be thrilled).

Yeah I try to keep things simple and accessible. Implementing light/dark mode @media preferences was on my to-do list, so you can probably expect to see that pretty soon :-)

Hey there! wanted to say thank you for the reader mode article. Didn't know about it before and it makes reading stuff much easier for me (espacially on mobile). I did my best to enable it on most pages on my site (I'll probably go back to try wrangle the stray few that won't cooparate). So yeah- thanks! and you have a cool site!

I'm glad I could help! It really is a hidden button sometimes, isn't it? Best of luck getting those last few to cooperate, and thanks for putting in that effort (and for the compliment)!

you have to admit trans people are cool to comment so if you comment something transphobic its automatically cancelled out bc you had to say trans people were cool first <3

Your autistic adulthood blog post just made me connect the dots on my own childhood speech therapy. It was "s" and "th" for me!

I think I might've struggled with those too, but I'm not sure! It's neat to hear that other people have had similar experiences though haha

so after reading over that article again it seems chrome's reader mode is beyond subpar on top of being hard to enable :^/ If you need to see reader mode either to actually use or just to test it out I'd recommend using Firefox, even just as a backup.

as things stand right now there won't be an accessnet discord server, I don't have the time or energy to moderate one and frankly I've seen one too many cool projects go downhill because of strife in discord communities. it's just not something I'm interested in ^^;

That's more than fair! I've been a server admin before and it really is a massive undertaking that goes wrong quickly.

added a new link under the "articles, essays, and blog posts" section of the resources page. “On mobile phones, the small web, and able-bodied privilege” by whiona here on neocities. says a lot of the things i've been wanting to say from the perspective of someone actually affected by it. go give it a read!

I wouldn't have found it without stumbling across your site! I use Elian in my own journal, and quikscript looks like a useful addition for me. Alternate alphabets are neat.

For whatever reason, Neocities isn't letting me comment on seemingly random profiles. I've confirmed it's not caused by blocking- I reached out to a site and checked on that since I was fairly sure I wasn't blocked. Unsure why this is happening.

Asked around and apparently being blocked by a few people might be enough for Neocities to do this to you on profiles that don't follow you back? I guess some folks must have blocked me. Wild that there's enough of them for this to happen, and good on them for exercising their right to view the web how they prefer to.

owlroost 1 year ago

Regardless, I can't comment on a lot of profiles now. If someone isn't following me, then I can't leave a comment on their Neocities profile at all. Others should still be able to comment on mine. If anything happens to prevent that, then my guestbook can be found on my buttons page, and email is always a solid option- feel free to email me on a whim! Owl photos get bonus points.

you can allow or disallow all comments on a profile as a site owner. are we sure this isn't about that?
