Hello yes 'tis me: video
- i come from the mids of europe and am very gay & trans (they/she).
Just upfront i shan't be disclosing my real name on here for hopefully obvious reasons, but my friends all call me mel or just video and one person v.
about meh
i've been online ever since i got my first phone at the ripe old age of 10. i was always akward and had a hard time talking to anyone irl, pretty sure the fact i was depressed and repressed as shit didn't help so the internet was a place where i could retreat to. My access to the internet was not restriced, becasue my parents thought i wouldn't even know how to go to differernt sites besides google or youtube,,, oh how i wish that was true. Yea it didn't take me too long (like 1.5yrs) to find some of the most reprehensable vile people on the planet (mostly through 4chan). Because of what i had picked up through 4chan and also youtube grifters i began hating myself more and more, it's still (to a certain extend) something i'm dealing with today.
Now, though, i'm thriving!
Also not everything i found when i was discovering the internet was bad, some things stuck with me until today namely my love for Horror, Art and Gamedesign!

Frankly i think social media is a good thing on the whole..
HOWEVER to me the internet feels,, well kinda dead, most social media is overrun by bots or grifters with people seeming to be the exception rather than the rule and even then it's probably a huge celebrity or influencer. Or you just find yourself in a walled-off community like discord.
i got to expirience the tail end of the reign of personal sites on the web, before social media really dominated like nowadays and i'm just nostalic for that time and those spaces.
So in order to populate the internet a little more i too shall plant my little seedling.
Also huge thanks to Kat for introducing me to Neocities and the broader indieweb. I've found it inspiring enough to make my own lil site! so go check out her video! ,,, though the people reading this on here probably don't need more convincing lmao
