How fast can we make this happen
I miss personal websites.
Remember when someone would be like “check out my geocities!”
And you’d go there to see 1 picture of them drunk at a party, a quote from an inspirational movie, 3000 gifs, and the hamster dance on repeat at the bottom.
We need to bring that back.

Introducing Daria, the cheerful, friendly and helpful AI assistant to help you build your web site. You can start asking her questions on your site editor right now. Available only for today, April 1st, then we're returning her to Hot Topic for a full refund.

This is being injected into site code on Neocities by an unnamed VPN (that will be named if they don't fix this in a reasonable time frame). If you see this code, disable said VPN. Good reminder to be EXTREMELY JUDICIOUS about vetting browser extensions, they have enormous power.

I'm more metaverse than Meta will ever be and honestly let's just live in a real, inhabitable world surrounded by warm, loving, informed people that care about each other. Seems better than destroying the real world and then using simulators / space ships as a fake escape hatch.
The Facebook metaverse stream was the most delusional thing I've ever seen from any company or any person in my entire life

Instagram & FB shove a Berlin-wall sized blocking pop-up in everyone's face that requires login to see your content for years, exponentially worse than Twitter. Zuck thinks this is a big game of Civ 5 and you're his peasants, don't sow his fields by trading incompetence for evil.

FYI: there was an issue with editing files where the browser was caching the previous version in the editor. Not sure why it suddenly started ignoring our "don't cache" code, but we have a working fix for it. If you ctrl+shift+r your editor it should start loading properly again.

Found a workaround for this, patching it later today.
Honestly though: I don't see how using an in-browser extension "VPN" from ~any~ company is a good idea, it's essentially perfect spyware that gets to see (and add code to) everything you're doing in your browser. Be careful.

Testing loading the root of .html files. For example if you have a mysite(dot)neocities(dot)org/webpage.html, you can load it with mysite(dot)neocities(dot)org/webpage instead. If there's no issues we will leave this on.

T-bag's executive order on Section 230 is completely unconstitutional. We will be 100% ignoring it and continuing as usual. Nothing would make us happier than taking it to court, where we will proceed to make the Chicago Seven trials look like a Yanni concert. Bring it on.

Hi! Some people asked if we were dead because we didn't update Twitter for a while. Nope, things are great! We just aren't huge on Twitter b/c it's derpie and weird and, uh, destroying the web FoR ThE CLIcKS which is kind of why we made Neocities in the first place so... 🤷

If you search "function hookGeo()" you see this code splattered all over the place. It's incredibly irresponsible for a large popular browser extension to inject arbitrary html code into form data. Browsers already ask permission before sharing location data, this is not needed.
