neocities guide - why you should build your own html website

do you miss the charm of the 90s/00s web where sites had actual personality instead of the same minimalistic theme? are you feeling drained by social media and the constant corporate monopoly of your data and time? do you want to be excited about the internet again? try neocities!!

what is neocities?

neocities is a free hosting website that lets you build your own html website from scratch, with total creative control. in their own words: "we are tired of living in an online world where people are isolated from each other on boring, generic social networks that don't let us truly express ourselves. it's time we took back our personalities from these sterilized, lifeless, monetized, data mined, monitored addiction machines and let our creativity flourish again."

why should I make my own website?

web3 has been overtaken by capitalism & conformity. websites that once were meant to be fun online social spaces now exist solely to steal your data and sell you things. it sucks!! building a personal site is a great way to express yourself and take control of your online experience.

what would I even put on a website?

the best part about making your own site is that you can do literally whatever the hell you want! focus on a specific subject or make it a wild collection of all your interests. share your art! make a shrine for one of your interests! post a picture of every bird you see when you step outside! make a collection of your favorite blinkies! the world is your oyster !! here are some cool example sites to inspire you: recently updated neocities sites | it can be fun to just look through these and browse people's content! space bar | local interstellar dive bar creature feature | halloween & monsters big gulp supreme peanutbuttaz | personal site dragodiluna linwood | personal site patho grove | personal site

my experience with spacehey

If anyone is really sick of modern approaches to social media (cough cough Twitter cough Instagram) you should really consider joining spacehey!!!! #not an ad I've been on it for a month now and it's basically a blogging site in the style of old internet myspace.

pros:

super customizable!! It lets you create an HTML theme for ur profile like on here & there are many (thousands) free themes made by the community to choose from.

Little to no focus on follower counts/popularity. Users have to request following a person so that you have complete control over who gets to see your blog posts/bulletins.

No ads. NONE. No verification or third-party ad accounts. If any appear they are quickly reported and removed!!!

Feels personal & private. You have options to create a fully private account or post things like private blogs. These options are great if you just want a place to keep a fun diary.

ITS SIMPLE. Sometimes all you need is a site that doesn't get flooded with screenshots of pinterest memes or influencer drama. You are free to post these ofc but why would you? The spacehey community values individuality & old internet philosophy (aka fuck corporations & influencers) and the posts reflect this.

cons:

The minor problem. Like other social media sites, anyone over the age of 13 is allowed on the site. This does not stop all the younglings to join, however. Of course this problem exists on all sites but it should still be mentioned. These accounts are pretty easy to spot though (because they are stupid enough to write their age in their bio *cries*) and therefore are swiftly removed if reported.

Small community. A small community can be really fun to interact with at times, it is easy to keep up with recent blog entries and so on. But very rarely do I see people interact with members in places such as groups or forums. Replying to individual people is also very difficult in some situations. To get the best experience you would have to spend a lot of time on the site.

To conclude, I think it's a great place if you want your own personal online space. There are so many different fandoms present and I cant help but image how much greater it would be if more people were interested in joining. :)

The most important lesson of Marxism is that a better world is always possible. Be the nonbinary lesbian cyberqueen the 90s thought you would be

More of me :)

Social media drains me and I've decided to embrace the whimsy and lean into the indie internet. I have finally been exploring personal websites and reintroducing fandom and creativity into my internet circle!

Here are all my current socials!
