This video is about making websites instead of scrolling reels.NOTE: The indie web, just like the Internet, can be unpredictable, and not all content on all ...
Its too bad they didnt menyion the fediverse but still great resources.
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.
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?
How about a tl;dw for people who can read?
Have a read
Digg does that…
This is the videos community. Are you lost?
