@coolboymew @djsumdog @Terry @thestrongest There's a lot more creativity when it comes to personal websites compared to the wall gardens of social media. That's what sites like Neocities and Tilde.club are trying to bring back, but from my experience, it's mostly used to host weird HTML/JavaScript demos. The problem is that most people don't have anything worth hosting on these types of sites so they end up being a waste of server space. However, I still think there is a place for sites like the one you mentioned.
People overestimate how hard it is to create a basic website. HTML/CSS isn't that hard to learn and even then, you can make static web pages using most word processors. No need for expensive/bloated shit like Dreamweaver.
@coolboymew @djsumdog @Terry @thestrongest I think the apolitical worked well because their weren't any centralized hubs for discussion. If you wanted to talk about politics, you talk about them in whatever politics forum/newsgroup/chatroom there was. Now, everyone is using sites like Facebook and Twitter to talk about politics which bleeds into conversations about other stuff and when the owners of those sites start banning certain ideologies, the diasporas are just hiveminds for said ideologies.
We need to bring independent sites and forums that ban political discussions and have forums dedicated to them.
@matrix You seem to be the only one still excited for this. The game looks like is going to be a disaster.
@rasterman @emilis @ArdanianRight @TheMadPirate @leyonhjelm @promethea *being able to smell it.
@rasterman @emilis @ArdanianRight @TheMadPirate @leyonhjelm @promethea The smell can be bad enough to stink an entire room. Imagine being forced to sit next to one at the bus and being able smell it.
@ChristiJunior @comfy It also wouldn't surprise me if they also used those DMCAs because they hate those types of sites. I remember hearing about companies thinking they could take 8chan down by DMCAing content they own the rights to.
@TheMadPirate @emilis @ArdanianRight @leyonhjelm @rasterman @promethea I'd imagine it would be painful to put on since you're basically putting chemicals into an open wound.
@ChristiJunior @comfy The people who try to suppress the leaks are even worse. Sony went ballistic with DMCAs for TLoU2 leaks. Not even obscure sites were safe. Some even had to temporarily shutdown until all of the DMCAd content was removed.
@comfy That dumbass hacked into Nintendo's servers using his bare IP.
@leyonhjelm @emilis @ArdanianRight @TheMadPirate @rasterman @promethea In a few years, there will be deodorant for tranny vaginas.
@feral_apothecary I keep on hearing that most Tor nodes are owned by the government. I think I2P might be a better option.
