Mastodawn

Having your own website is not going to fix democracy, or topple the online pillars of capitalism - but it's making a political statement nonetheless. It says "I want to carve my own space on the web, away from the corporations". I think this is a radical act. It was when I originally said this in 2022, and I mean it even more today.

@sophie thanks for this amazing article. 😍

Im currently building my personal Site in WordPress and find it quite challenging to avoid JavaScript. After reading your article I want to try that.

Also im focusing on accessibility and making it accessible for slow internet connections and not focus on only wealthy western web. Its so much fun building it.

@philipp @sophie thank you for considering those with less powerful devices and/or slower connections. The latter is exactly why I, as a sighted person, use alt-text on Mastodon occasionally. It’s handy for when I am barely able to connect at all.
