One way you can #fightback is by taking back the web. Don't let yourself be silenced in a sea of bots, trolls, or stuck in a doomscrolling loop. Constant scrolling is an easy way to control you.
Create a website. Take your opinions there to widen your reach. Connect again w/the humanity of the web.

One of our members, ajazz, created a whole interactive guide to escaping the corporate social media machine: Unplatform. This is a great way to get introduced to the indieweb & the small web, if you've ever heard of it but not sure where to go from here.
It's a fantastic read and full of resources.

Make a personal website. It can be really simple! Do it for free at neocities.org! But have one of your very own that no one else controls. And start a newsletter. Make sure the service allows you to export and move your subscribers. Okay, now you have some independence and options.
Regardless of the issues w/ the TikTok ban, these kind of takes are strange to me. Do people not realize these apps are constantly dying (Friendster, Orkut) or withering away (Tumblr, MySpace) or "pivoting" in ways that crash industries (Facebook, Twitter)? You cannot ever trust them.
Someday writers and publishers will all collectively learn the folly of putting all their business eggs in one platform basket!

If you're getting set up for the first time on Neocities and not sure where to start with your personal website design, consider using 32-Bit Cafe member Varve's layout builder! This super-customizable, small web-made tool is an awesome one to have in your toolbox as you get started.

If you're at this stage: Just get on neocities.org and get started, even if you don't know jack shit about HTML. I promise it'll come to you over time; just write SOMETHING on a page and iterate from there. And browse others' sites! Some folks are doing wild things within the limitations there.

I don’t think people understand how devastating the end of net neutrality, and consumer protections around internet connectivity, are going to be. Imagine the situation where you pay for 4 or 5 different streaming services, each with different “exclusives” — but for the Internet itself.
