where did the personal web revival go wrong? Are the societal conditions that produced the internet of the 90s just not there anymore?

There are good ones, and not finding them is a skill issue.

absolute coal. not to mention projecting the worst of the progressive ideologies: see the "i use she/her pronouns" and that grim furry or whatever it is.

Nothing wrong with that. Only third world shitters use or care about smartphones. I actually block mobile users on my personal site.

i'd argue in favor for mobile friendliness from the perspective of a moderator of a site that revolves around this kind of design
if i'm taking a shit or i'm out and about and my phone starts getting bombed because some guy is posting child porn i'd like the experience from me opening my phone to going to the ban button to be a relatively easy task that doesn't take more than 15 seconds to do
if you aren't running a dynamic site though then yeah fuck phoneposters. they need to learn how to flip their shit horizontally if they want to navigate a static website so bad. they shouldn't even need to either since html autoscales these days

Desktop first mobile second all the way no matter what though

Nothing wrong.

Nothing wrong.

Based.

Who said everyone must host services?

Not my problem, cripple.

Only valid complaints, everything else is whining over personal websites/interests. If you don't like it fuck off.

[AutoMod] action=keep R:6 E:8 N:5 C:10 | The post is relevant as it continues the discussion on the Indieweb thread, particularly addressing the previous post about refusing responsive CSS. The user provides technical reasoning and personal experience, contributing to the topic. However, the post could have been more concise and focused to avoid being rated as average in effort. Civility is rated highly as there are no personal attacks or inappropriate language, despite the use of informal expressions common in technical communities.

There is nothing wrong with adding smartphone access. Face it , not all of us at all times are carrying around our corebooted thinkpad 200x's looking for a ethernet port. I believe it comes from a place of high horse mentality as well as immaturity if you're >>10824 , Sure understand that smartphones have become somewhat of a cancer in the tech industry as well as websites catering torwards them. Don't act like you haven't used your smartphone when you're out and about for various purposes, also face the fact that they're portable computers within themselves, and if you're using GrapheneOS and decent opsec they're not bad.

[AutoMod] action=keep R:2 E:6 N:10 C:10 | The post is relevant (to a degree) as it touches on the Indieweb, but only makes minor contributions. It is civil and doesn't contain any insults, but it doesn't offer much insight either.

>Don't act like you haven't used your smartphone when you're out and about for various purposes
Don't have to act, I don't have a smartphone.
Why add smartphone access? People aren't going to be surfing to my site through a phone anyway.
