As I mentioned before, it's possible for some things to change, and it has.

I made an account on Neocities. I have learned some HTML and CSS and put together a website. It was satisfying for me, putting together something like this has made me feel the most fulfilled I ever have in the 9 years I've been using the internet and I'm happy Neocities lets me do it for free.

It's nice just having this old-web-like thing of my own instead of being on a social site, not having to worry about fitting into a community, or all these empty numbers. They're still there of course, but not nearly as much in your face, or encouraging you to make interactions that ultimately end up meaningless. The loneliness of it actually feels good.

I would recommend checking it out if you're feeling stifled. And if you want to learn HTML and/or CSS try this website https://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp it's very intuitive and easy to understand for beginners.

I don't, however, feel like giving out the link to my site willy-nilly. I might do it if asked.
