How about a tl;dw for people who can read?
There's a website tool hosted on neocities that's attempting to become a geocities revival.
The video is functionally an ad for the community and the associated Web building tools.
Another walled garden, right in line with Web 2.0, but with a 90s pastiche done up in HTML5. Reminds me a bit of the Vaporwave style that flared up in the mid-10s. Cute, but not groundbreaking.
Not sure if you meant it this way, but Walled garden usually means 'Closed Platform', like a way to trap users. But the video is encouraging the construction of websites that can easily be self-hosted, which is the opposite of a walled garden.
It's claiming they can be self-hosted, certainly. But they're also claiming this is some kind of "Web Revival". Do you know anyone who is building neocities sites and self-hosting them, much less getting any meaningful amount of traffic on their self-hosted websites?
This is the videos community. Are you lost?
Yeah as much as I prefer reading about things like this it is a bit silly to complain about it when it's literally posted in a video-oriented community.
Great discussion
Theres a number of websites that he goes through. Its going to be hard to describe.
Lots of neocities but not all of the links are.
Its worth watching.
Digg does that..
