antieverythingmanifesto - arwen's anti-manifesto manifesto. i read this and found myself agreeing with pretty much everything here. a lot of neocities sites are really inaccessible and i really disagree with it. it's ableism. while i didn't grow up with web 1.0 (i've been using the web since maybe 2007 and started really becoming active on forums on fanfiction.net in 2011) i've always preferred to use "old web" websites and because of that i want my site to be simple, to the point, and most importantly, with main pages that are READABLE. flashy gifs and scripts are nice when used tastefully, but i think we need to seriously let making fuck ugly websites for the sake of "webcore" DIE. so many of the kids on here are blindly nostalgic for an era they didn't experience. personally, i dont care about how many people look at my website, or if it looks cool and unique. this is a place for me to put my stuff, and if people outside my circle of friends stumble across it, then isn't that just nice?

motherfucking website - similar to the antieverythingmanifesto. read this shit and fucking internalise it please.

runyourown.social - a website about how to run your own social media and why you'd want to do this. i thought it was a fascinating read, something i'd like to look into more in the future. my mum's an engineer so i asked her if she has a raspberry pi i could fuck around with but she only has two arduinos. oh well. maybe some day.

hometown - a fork of mastodon by the above author. keeping this here for my own reference. as i said, maybe some day.
