I'm a 20 something year old that decided to create my neocities account on a whim. When I was a child, I used to tinker around
with html but as an adult, I've pretty much forgotten everything. So, I'm using this site as an opportunity to relearn html, as well
as css and maybe javascript if I'm feeling fancy.
Since 2018, I've largely been inactive on social media, and have deleted almost all of my accounts. This is primarily because I'm 'bad'
at using social media. I have a tendency to lurk. I didn't really like commenting on things and rarely ever posted. I disliked
the way algorithms pushed clickbait content to encourage user engagement (and user enragement). The constant negativity on social media
was exhausting. Yes, the world sucks but marinating in your own misery isn't going to help. When I realized that being on social media was
negatively impacting my mental health, I decided to delete almost everything.
This neocities site is my first foray back into posting online. I hope that the more personal aspect of it will encourage me to keep
posting.
I do like sharing things and talking to people about similar interests. Just, not in a traditional social media environment.
Alcedonia means 'halcyon days' in Latin (apparently, according to Wiktionary lol). Since 'halcyon days' was already taken, I chose 'alcedonia' instead.
