Like the title says. I just heard about it a few days ago from YouTube. It sounds really cute and gay, but I was wondering if it's just nostalgia bait or if they're actually achieving some sort of community over there. Also, whether there are a lot of leftists there or if they tend to get pushed out. Is it still up and thriving or did it peak a couple of years ago?

And uuuuh... if you made a cute lil website of your own, can I see? shy

neocities definitely has a lot of queers and commies, the decentralised nature of it makes it hard to assign a certain "vibe" to the overarching thing but it's seemed nice and inclusive to me. clicking through them is quite heartwarming. I'm working on my own atm but also overcoming a long standing hatred of web dev so it's slow going lol, maybe I'll post on here when it's more finished.
