Welcome to The Shitpost Office
Shitposts processed from 9 to 5, with occasional overtime on weekends.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Sinister
Treat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe
Rule 2: No Prohibited Postage
Some packages are simply undeliverable. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content
- NSFW content must be properly tagged
If you see anything that violates these rules, please report it so we can return it to sender. Otherwise? Have fun, be silly, and enjoy the chaos. The office runs best when everyone’s laughing.... or retching over the stench, at least.

... I completely agree, it seems you understand UI/UX design principles very well!
So... yeah, its entirely possible to have a more varied and more artful internet, that is also not garrish, and broadly functional, if one takes care to account for details as you've outlined.
That just... isn't the path we largely went down.
But uh, neocities is a thing, they're trying to bring back the old spirit of much more lightweight, much more personal and customized websites that the old net had.
https://neocities.org/
Look at their example showcases!
The sites themselves are art.
EDIT:
Though it might be a good idea if they attempted to also offer a basic formatting standard for mobile sites.
Just one of those things that you just get, but haven't studied, so may not have the required words for.
I mostly think in terms of usability, convenience and utility from my experience in using GUI software and websites, with no manifest-able artistic inclination.
Looks kinda nice.
There are still quite a few interesting websites I have seen even without it. They are just rare and require someone to put some amount of obsession into it. So either way, I won't expect normal companies to end up with art, even if the tech part of it has been made easier.
I mean, I could develop a site like that without neocities, but I won't be designing one as such. And my site can already take care of a wide variety of page sizes.
