thank you for the new thread nonnie! I love the threadpic lol

what’s everyone’s pet peeves when it comes to sites on the indie web? the obvious answer is already zoomer manifestos about copying & virtue signalling about trannies and palestine, but I’m curious to know what other (and generally harmless) things you all find annoying in these spaces

and yet, it's users seem it fit to bother people who aren't in it. these people do no favors to their cause.
this is a similar sort of slacktivism as filling your tumblr feed with fake palestine stories looking to fleece retards out of money. it only makes people fatigued.

i've known the person who made this ring. she's friends with some of the most annoying retards ever kek.

anyways i guess one thing i fucking hate on people's sites is this gaudy ass adbox. 99% of the time it links to a nothingburger site and the ads won't even fit with the site's theming. i'm also just tired of pastel colored sites. a bunch of nonas talked about it before but there's way too fucking many of them.

>Iframes
now before you kill me, I don’t mind iframes as they are. the problem is, people make websites based entirely on one iframe which is fine, but then there is no navigation back or forward. please nonas, this is hard to use.
I urge, no, BESEECH people to make buttons that on click trigger “history.back()” in the iframe, or just make the container you want to update with new content in JavaScript so you have access to AJAX and can go back and forward using the browser buttons without changing the page. I know this is less desirable because it’s harder but it is worth it if you’re getting into building a more polished website or single page app

>>2592577
They have their uses when you want to embed something from another site or like in the case of sozai sites, you might have no need to have each category of pixel art be on a different page. But yes, each page being the same layout is boring, I agree. Even if you want to retain some sort of aesthetic identity with your website, you can still switch it up time to time and not rely solely on the 3 column +banner combo

Have you tried actually reaching out and talking to webmasters you like? The solution really is as simple as that. If you don't try to get to know someone, you will forever stay in the dark.

No. 2594332

>>2594267
Sometimes its as easy as reading someone's blog and they straight up namedrop LC or a thread from there, other times it takes some sleuthing and actually communicating with the webmaster to see their opinions. One of the easier hints are pronouns and how they identify themselves (such as whether theyre upfront about identifying as a woman/webmistress or have no identifiers at all but make their gender obvious from their hobbies and interests like yume/fujo media or jfashion as an example)
You'll be surprised how many women out there are either "neutral" or crypto about troon shit and prefer to discuss hobbies and promote stuff for women by women instead of making smallweb an activist dick measuring contest. Like unless you're looking for nonas specifically so you can discuss LC topics such as cows or drama I'd recommend just finding "normie" women to befriend since they're much easier to seek and reach out as being associated with this site upfront is setting yourself up to be branded as an undesirable by TRAs though I'm pretty cautious about adding actual farmers due to negative experiences I've received from the friend finder and how many bippies and schizos make up the userbase unsurprisingly. The bree situation just reinforced my stance kek

Then it might be coincidental because aside from Pomelo and Lovesick, I've noticed a number of unrelated webmasters who aren't associated with the group or LC as a whole suddenly DFE or switch hosts. I'd hate for something suspect to be going on with neocities since I'd have to go through the process of finding another hosting service and uploading site assets since I use neocities' built in storage.

It's not just one group, I noticed a lot of unrelated sites moving off of Neocities lately like Ophanimkei and I understand why now. The site is filled with users, a lot of kids but not all, who have a weird parasocial bond with the popular sites. Putting yourself out there opens you up to weirdos who feel entitled to your creations and other undesirables. I don't blame anyone for leaving eventually and finding a new host independent of this mess. I'm grateful to NC for showing me a new world but it's a smart move to eventually leave it behind.

No. 2594646

>>2594642
Should I take the plunge and switch hosts? I've already somewhat nipped the problem in the bud by immediately turning off my neocities account and comments section upon starting up my site but if the toxicity is really that bad would it just be less stressful and better to use another service? I might try FC2 since it makes your site virtually undetectable unless you directly link it

No. 2594654

>>2594646
I would say yes just so you can avoid the retards. I switched from Neocities a months ago to FC2 and it's been freeing not having literal children asking about where muh Palestine buttons are constantly.

i've literally never had this happen to me either lol. this whole talk is kinda bizarre. i guess these anons that have had it happen to them are maybe social activists in other areas, and are putting people off by not talking about palestine or whatever. i have seen hundreds of websites that don't have any kind of activism whatsoever and all of the sites i follow are also free of activism, including my own, and nobody gets harrassed for it.

No. 2596509

>>2596500
The issue is that you don’t even need to be an actual TERF to be subject to the witch hunting. Lovesick used to get retards in her cbox accusing her of being a TERF after the WOTI callout and she just deleted the comments, as far as I can tell. She’s not even a TERF, just a grown woman who dares to have hobbies on the internet and interact with other women her age. Pom had a vaguely gender crit button on her site. She’s definitely not the evil, man-hating TERF people make her out to be. Not that there’s an issue with that kek. Zoomers have a hard time understanding that their political extremism isn’t normal. They’re just bullies and misogynists, even if they think they’re justified in their witch-hunting.

But it's annoying. Yes you can disable comments, make your profile private etc etc But cutting from the roots is more effective.
I myself didn't had any problems, but I moves because I hated knowing the amount of children that visited/followed mt site. Do they still visit me on my new host? Probably, but at least I don't see them so it's easier to ignore.

I think it’s fair to call us paranoid, but it’s not without good reason. As mentioned >>2596509 you don’t even need to be a TERF to be targeted for harassment.

So what? For me, the goal has never been "get as many views as possible." It's also not really paranoid to describe a very obvious pattern on Neocities. Something about the two-way communication makes a lot of the userbase feel very entitled to you in the same way they feel entitled to their mutuals on social media. Guestbooks and comment boxes have the same issue where once people perceive a direct line of communication, they immediately try to play these neurotic social control games they're used to. It isn't weird at all to want to opt out. It is tiresome to babysit a comment box and it sucks the joy out of being a webmistress. After all, I'd bet most anons here made personal websites to have a refuge from the aggressive badgering and homogeneity of social media.

wouldn’t surprise me. on paper it seems like a better host because of the file space and no limit on what kind of files you upload (honestly a kind of stupid idea for safety reasons but let dimden and co find that out for themselves kek) but at the end of the day it’s a host started by a bunch of gendies that’s probably a callout away from being blown to the high heavens.

For all the hopes that nekoweb gets shut down I actually hope the project thrives for a while (even if it means sacrificing some milky drama) because it acts as easy containment from undesirables I don't want to associate with; I dont imagine underaged zoomies bothering to discover sites that aren't curated in a discover page so they'll mostly stick to their own domain

No. 2596925

>>2596911
i feel this way too. its a good containment platform since nekoweb and neocities themselves are often what's talked about when it comes to hosting so all the twitterfags migrate there as opposed to finding another free host with no socmed aspects

>>2596575
>now nobody visits it because you made it as obscure as possible.
i just jumped hosts recently and i'll be honest, i prefer it this way. i'd rather my site only be seen through specific avenues i can opt into like webrings and cliques rather than being discoverable in a host platform algorithm. given that indie web is seen as a trend by twitter/tiktokbrained zoomies and there's people talking about it on tiktok and youtube, i'd rather my site be a little harder to find too

This convo interests me, firstly because I'm usually the one being referred as "grandma" in this thread, but more importantly because I did in fact have a GeoCities site in the late 90s and early 2000s. I've never been of the opinion that "too many toys" is antithetical to the "old web" aesthetic. I loaded my sites with JavaScript gimmicks back in the day, and I still do. That stuff is very much part of my old web nostalgia, as it is for a lot of users who enjoyed experimenting with the latest tech.(personalityfag)

Thats funny and all but it says right there she left because she doesn't have the motivation nor time to maintain and keep her sites up. I'm guessing she excluded her site from the wayback machine way before the decision to close her site since she's giving the go ahead to back up her content before the site goes down on the disclaimer (or maybe she doesn't wish for her content to be public anymore? who knows)

It would be weird to larp about this. It's sad when a girl who is barely an adult will have all their free time spent looking after children like this. If your only real desire for yourself is having a kid after having struggled with and ED, you're probably not done healing from it seeing as you didn't develop any personal ambitions past what a church tells you is your only purpose. Also it's hard to think these parents actually have solid employment to support these children at such a young age. It's always the people who should be child free the most seemingly having kids often.

If this isn't bullshit, then it is unbelievably fucked-up and sad. She has her first kid at 15, then two more before 20. Her husband to me sounds quite a bit older from the very little she talks about him, but I hope that I'm misreading that.

There's the alternative where people use their site as a portfolio/art project.etc that only means to serve its purpose and does not intend to receive interactions or communication from visitors.

These grown women are letting themselves be bullied off their sites by literal children and basement dwelling codertroons. Its genuinely as easy as just turning the social features off if people are being annoying. Now, if they want to move off neocities for whatever other reason thats totally fine, but a lot of this seems like "16 year olds called me a terf on my chatbox that I couldve just removed, so i need to delete my whole website!!" which is… cringe.

you’re totally right! and I forgot about that too. but the reason why it’s only 404 is simply bc you can’t run into 401 403 410, because there’s no way to make a file or a page forbidden or inaccessible like this. same with any 5xx errors, no server interaction means no server side errors )

Retarded question, but I use IONOS as well and can't get it to work. I simply want to use their in-browser mail, is there anything you have to configure there?
I followed their FAQ but nothing there fixed it. I can send emails with no problems using it, but I can't receive any.
I tried to send mail using both Proton and Gmail, but they get lost in the way.

Proton didn't give me any error message, but Gmail send me this one:
"Address not found
Your message was not delivered to (redacted) because the address was not found or cannot receive mail."
I have been waiting for a fanlisting confirmation for weeks, I'm glad I at least noticed this before trying to join more using the IONOS mail.

alright, first you need to check DNS. in mxtools, you can insert your domain to check if you have the proper SPF, DKIM, and DMARC which is required to send email.
also it could be hitting spam filters if you send an empty message or a message with little content.
and in cpanel, you must set routing to remote mail exchanger because ionos handles the emails, not you.

I think you could find a lot of old Japanese sites with the neighborhood gimmick of geocities (using geocities archive congregation sites), I remember seeing a lot of Japanese language blogs on the Tokyo.. I think it was called? neighbourhood along with the weebs. Yahoo also had a feature where you could sort through personal websites by their origin, I was able to find a couple Korean and Chinese websites that way so I'd assume you could find some Japanese ones as well. once you've found a Japanese language webring you'll most likely be able to find a lot of gems. This video by sakurastardust also has a couple weirdo old Japanese sites that might be to your interest, researching more 'do not search' mysteries, spec. online ones like those discussed on 2chan back in the day would probably be pretty fun for you. scrolling 2chan archives, specifically the /x/ equivalent boards of course, would also reap for you some interesting and obscure sites. I'm not at all an expert on this field, just stumbled across these while scowering old websites and videos, so a nonna who's more knowledgable about the japanese internet would be a much better help still, praying that some savants will give you a helping hand!

Its pretty redundant to leave solely because of the social features of neocities because as you said, you can disable all avenues of communication and wait until the engagement dies out before reopening your guestbook if you really want people to interact without using the socmed feature on neocities. If an established identity has too much of a presence on neocities I'm pretty sure you can change your site name for free as well to change aliases.

There's a difference rejecting trans shit and being a TERF. Most women here are probably the former, out of these a percentage have a strong sense of sisterhood and inside them there's another even smaller percentage thst are TERFs. Not everyone is into politics and even less are into extremist ones, so as much they're sympathizers or haven't read much. And that's okay,
unfortunately rejecting trans culture and supporting other women like a normal person IS radical on the current climate, these women are doing way more for women than 70% of people.
And even if they were TERFs, why would being a husbandofag rule them out? It's fine/normal if tou find them weird, but I don't think finding a bunch of pixels from some RPG hot goes against what you believe in, isn't like your libido disappears the second you read your first radical feminist manifesto.

By whose definition? Because for troons, any dissent from any woman makes her a terf even if she's not a feminist at all. And few radfems are trans exclusive because they only exclude male troons. It never made any sense as a definition and considering the term was invented by them and forced on us, I don't see a need to gatekeep it for exclusive radfem use. If a tranny would call you a terf, you can call yourself a terf.

I've contemplated making a forum for indieweb stuff, but running a community is crazy amounts of work. Spinning up the forum is really no big deal (if you're hosting your own it is a bit more effort but truthfully nbd), but it's that community management aspect, in my opinion, where a lot of people struggle and ultimately fail.

Did strawberryreverie really delete her entire photo diary because someone called her fat?

She never had a photo diary up iirc. It must be new. How would you know someone called her fat? You must be leaving weird messages on people's profiles and guestbooks.

I looked on archive and she removed the link from the sidebar but the link on the archive still works so she didnt actually delete it

I think she deleted her monthly journal entries? She was part of Lovesick and Pomelo’s rings so it’s likely she’s trying to distance herself too.

You can literally still access Arachne's diary entries in the archive section of her site, she could be revamping it for all we know.

What is so milky about this girl anyway? Summerfags are really grasping at straws for content.

No. 2617623

Absolutely nothing.
At most shes associated with the flonne and co who apparently got into a quarrel with another webmaster (Bree/WhiteRibbon) for alleged doxxing and harassment. Until Bree can provide identification and evidence of her harassment, there is nothing of substance to talk about Arachne and whether she was even involved in the conflict

would be a selfpost if the photo diary in question ever existed and she actually deleted her diary I guess. that anon is just scraping the bottom of the barrel wrt based stacys given that the bree saga has died out (for now).

I'd be so curious to know, out of all the posts defending or attacking either side, what percentage of them were actually made by people uninvolved. Aside from the discussion when Bree's blogpost was advertised, I doubt it's that high. The chorus of based stacys going "stop talking about us… i mean this random webmistress!!! There's no milk here summerfags!!!!" when it's probably just Bree wanting to call her fat kek

Seriously, I have a feeling tourists from nekoweb are shitting up this thread with endless nitpicking and vendetta posting that no one even cares about.

No. 2618035

>>2618008
if i had to guess, the tourists from nekoweb are the posters with the tiktokfag dialect furtively bringing up rice's manifesto like it's fresh milk when actual farmers discussed it at length upthread, not the ones talking about whether certain lolcow-adjacent neocities users were bothered by being called fat. i don't think the underage nekoweb users care about that very much actually. i can think of one group of people that might though

Is there anything wrong with Nekoweb itself? Or is the attitude towards it just because of its user base?

I don't like nekoweb because of most of the user base, yes, but also because I find the admins and their discord server sus. I also just don't feel like the hosting service itself will last that long.

No. 2618252

>>2618156
i don't have faith in the hosting service, and generally don't care about the userbase ngl. given that dokodemo (who did a lot of work for them over the years before it launched) left it in a huff over something honestly fucking stupid and a lot of the people behind it are kinda similar to her, i can't help but feel like it's one callout document away from quite literally imploding from silly kiddy drama. also the lack of restriction on file types is kind of concerning, as a few bad actors could potentially drag the whole thing down anyway.

I prefer the features to NC but customer service being carried out over Discord instead of email is the biggest red flag to me. And the mods being drama prone and having falling outs before means it's one Discord argument away from the plug being pulled entirely.

I associate nekoweb with tranny pedophiles since that nikki website incident. The person who hosts that website did full damage control and removed the recent posts entirely kek. I guess the DDLG pedophile larper got banned but she(?) just made a new account already and is back to posting about her pedophile roleplay life. The moderation is so fucking bad that the webhost should really just shut down the whole site, they obviously cant handle this. I dont even want to post the whole thing because its disgusting and retarded.

No. 2619819

>>2618449
The site boxes are the best thing about nekoweb imo. I wish kyle would implement something similar. Aside from that, don't know why you would choose it over neocities or other hosts. It seems to have all of the issues of neocities dialed up to 10, by somehow having an even more retarded userbase

kekk and even goes so far as to compare it to genocide. i guess he wants to be seen as king of the incels or something, if it weren't for the rest of his website i'd think it was satire it's so ridiculous
his rant is all-encompasing stereotypically incel/turboautist, but to compare not getting a girlfriend to genocide is next level
