Neocities.org
I know this is not something people WANT to think about, but I'd highly recommend looking into other sites hosts for if/when neocities ever shuts down. neocities is far from your only option! there are many places you can host your site for FREE and still maintain a presence on neocities but not being dependent on it!

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

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.

i enjoyed your blog post about accessibility and the old web revival movement. it's a very important issue and it's nice to see people talking about it

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!

here's a good one also https://kalechips.net/stuff/hosting
the plan has always been go to self-hosted once i find the resources to host a server 24/7 with consistent uptime. PHP seems "fun"
this is actually something i've been thinking about a lot recently. it would be nice to host my website + the git repo myself so i don't have to worry about hosts shutting down or corporations yanking them away once they stop being profitable. i would host a minecraft server also
I personally like https://leprd.space !
@pencilvoid Just make sure your ISP is on board! Some of them hate this sort of thing (ugh).
I’ve heard Nearly Free Speech is also a good service. I’m happy on Neocities for now but it’s very important to not be married to your web host. And ALWAYS have a local backup of your site!!!
@whiona I host my own site on NFS- they've been fantastic, but you definitely need to be comfortable with SSH / remote file management, as there's not a graphical interface for site file management. It's very DIY and I like that about it, but it might pose a problem for others.
