@icedquinn quinn is a cool blob

i dont wanna leave my cool unique friends... but yeah, i have been thinking about moving to XMPP lately, ngl.

@cee @icedquinn You should get a website. That way you have a better place to explain you position without people dog-piling and straw-manning you.

The problem with social media is that everyone has short attention spans so they aren't going to take time to fully read and understand your position.

@xianc78 how do you do that?

I avoid being on the computer for too long as it puts a lot of pressure on my wrist and arms. So it might take me a while do that.

@cee Basic HTML and CSS isn't that hard to learn. It may be tempting but avoid WYSIWYG editors. They add unnecessary crap like JavaScript. And for the love of all things that are holy, avoid web hosts with WYSIWYG editors like SquareSpace, Wix, Weebly, Google Sites, etc. They not only add JS from Big Tech sites, they are also known for censorship.

You can use a simple static hosting service like Neocities to host the site, but I've heard that they have been censoring some stuff lately. There is also tilde.club and FC2. I host my site on Codeberg which is a Git repository, so you have to learn Git to use that.

Shared hosting is an option. You share your site on the same server as other sites. Paid shared hosting sites usually offer PHP scripting for dynamic websites along with SQL for databases. VPS hosting hosts your site on a virtual machine on someone's server, but you need to have server knowledge and they are more expensive than shared hosts.

You can also host it on your own server but depending on your ISP, your IP address may reveal your home address or just your city. Hosting it over Tor or I2P can hide your IP address but makes it impossible to view on the clearnet.

@xianc78 @cee The Tilde's (yes, there are multiple of them) require manual approval by the server admin in order to use, and they give you SSH access, so you can easily fork bomb it if you have any intentions of fucking with them.
But I think it's better not to, they're already nice enough to provide you of such an environment, so fork bombing them would be a dick move.

Also, there are proxies out there to make Onion-only sites accessible from the clearnet, however even those who provide such proxies don't recommend it.

For example:
Tor-only: http://asc7ewkcvat2wsoi5yuwkej5ukyrqqnpnzpj4u34r2jxnoxhnbx6yqad.onion/

Can be viewed from the clearnet: https://asc7ewkcvat2wsoi5yuwkej5ukyrqqnpnzpj4u34r2jxnoxhnbx6yqad.onion.moe/

@ryo @cee I'm aware of clearnet proxies of Tor sites. I should've said "without proxies".

I'm also aware of the tilde clones. tilde.club has a list of them, last time I checked. Though, tilde.club in particular has that covenant code of conduct that has plagued countless open-source projects.

Either way, I don't know if NeoCities or any of the tilde clones would have any problem with post-leftists. I could be wrong though.
