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.

I haven't built a website in WordPress for a long time, since its massively bloated, but how can it be "challenging to avoid JavaScript"? Just... don't use it, that's how I've been getting around it on my blog since forever.
@tyil what a life changing advice... .
@philipp@social.anoxinon.de @sophie@social.lol I genuinely don't understand how it can be hard to avoid something that you decide to put in in the first place.
It's like saying you find it hard to avoid adding chocolate chips to a cake you're baking, even though you set out to make a cake without chocolate chips. You're the one in control to add it or not.
