So I have finally decided to just make a website, after considering it for a very long time. It's my belief that the current reliancy on the corporate web (in other words, social media and the like), has become a net negative for not only the internet as a whole but society itself. Therfore this is my little piece of rebellion you could say, this is a webzone made by me (with the help of generous people making CSS templates of course!), controlled by me and with content purely currated by me. From now on when people want to see what I am up to I will refer to people with this site, not a link to some third-party social media site owned by a billionaire.
I will put various projects I am working on here, what I've been reading, listening to and watching etc as well as just random musings in general. This will be my representation online but with a veneer of anonymity. I will never put my real name on here and whatever you can gleam about me will come from my words, not me putting out pictures and private information online in an attempt to build a fake veneer of being someone greater than who I am. It is my belief that anonymity online should be the default, both to keep oneself safe from other people with malicious intent but also to keep onself separated from corporations and governments trying to profile you for the sake of surveilence and marketing. In a world where governments, with the financial backing and pressure of large corporations, are increasigly trying to monitor everything you do online and kill the dream of the free internet anonymity should be something we need to stress further.
Now of course, if Neocities itself is going to be the best option to host something like this remains to be seen but I will stay here as long as it's viable and move if the necessity comes.
