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

>>2592416>Do not use this ring as an excuse to witchhuntand 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.

>>2592416i'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.
No. 2592575
>>2592416>Iframesnow 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

are kinda lame tho. Especially when its just one page with a iframe holder, thats so boring. I guess its fine if you arent very creatively-inclined but seeing all the uniquely designed pages on a website is like half the fun

>>2592660I never said it doesn't look good, we were talking about originality there, read more than 1 reply in a chain please.
And yeah, I do have a site and I prefer how it looks ove hers. Why are people on this thread always so aggressive/jump to the wrost assumptions? Gezz….
No. 2594332
>>2594267Sometimes 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 No. 2594547

It’s not hard to interact with she/they’s who justhaven’t grown out of their NLOG phase if we’re just talking about video games. Don’t dismiss someone just because there are gendie women in their links. I love how overwhelmingly female the indie web is even if we’re all a little retarded kek

>>2596378are you just perpetuating retarded tranny rumors from reddit or what?
No. 2596509
>>2596500The 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.
No. 2596518
>>2596505But 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. You're making it seem like we are melodramatic, but it's just a simple solution for peace of mind, NC and the like are too full of TRAs and children.
No. 2596555
>>2596483NTAYRT but the cbox comments were up for 8 or so days, and that was right before Pom deleted it.. Any
nonnie ITT could have noted it before it was gone.
I was going to her page a lot lately since I rlly enjoyed the links she had No. 2596588
>>2596575I 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. The gendie cult are vicious cyber bullies who dehumanize women. I don’t want to get doxxed, which is a real possibility with their ‘ilk’. And you can 100% call me retarded for not being more anonymous and un-doxxable but shit is out of the horse, so to speak. Better to be crypto and off the radar.

No. 2596883

No. 2596925
>>2596911i 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

There was no link to this thread in the previous thread when it reached the post limit.
>>2582413>>2582420This 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.

>>2599208It 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.

>>2599563It would definitely be weird. That said, I knew a girl back in the day who LARPed about some pretty deranged shit though. (Told people she'd been pregnant several times as a teen and forced into abortions, that her parents were dead, etc)- hers was a grift though, and it doesn't seem like there's a grifting angle here.
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.
