Has anyone tried Neocities?

This is one of the best places to find people who may have been censored. So I figure I'll ask before I invest a bunch of time into making static html pages.

This place looks pretty cool. All of the websites look like the come from the early 2000's. https://neocities.org/
They even host a Finnish website! https://kekkonen.neocities.org/

I think that's the culture and style of neocities. I like looking through it because there is often minimal if any at all javascripting on most pages. The downside is that there are plenty of people who aren't good designers and make unreadable pages. E.G teenagers who seem to be caught in a temporal rift to 2001.

Yes. That was like Geocities back in the day. No one really knew how to make a website and just put everything they had recently learned or things they thought looked 'cool' onto a page. It was good times.

It's a website host with some social media features. https://neocities.org/contact They claim they won't takedown websites unless the content is illegal in the US.

It actually looks really really fun!! They provide fun tutorials for making websites and it seems to be aimed at people like students or kids who are just starting out learning how to make a webpage. https://neocities.org/tutorials

Well, if you make an account. I'll follow. I still want to figure out if they uphold freedom of speech...

What's the difference between making a website on neocities and making a website the regular way.

On Neocities, you get exposure by following someone, writing comments, or general account activity.

vs.

On your own web server you can run server applications.

If most of your content will be static web pages and managed by a single user, Neocities is a lot cheaper than AWS or GCS.
