I wish not repeat was has been said so many times on neocities and this website. But at the same time, it's kind of obvious; most of us are tired of social media. Yet, the internet has cemented itself into society with a vital function: the internet is the quickest bridge to like-minded people, especially for those in isolation. More is that static websites typically don't contain all the hectic hostility that socmed/birdsite brings; at worst, a personal website can represent a sour user, rather than a sour collective.

Other than my woes with social media, I've always admired HTML/CSS, and have wanted to learn it. The personalization capabilities are endless. I've also heard of neocities here and there beforehand, trying and giving up on making a website back in quarantine (oof.) Sitting down and actually learning how to code my own site, though? It's been extremely fun and rewarding. What's a better creative outlet than my own space with unfiltered personal expression? What's a better replacement for rambling on twitter?
