      That fortunately reveals nothing. I’m not a fan of asklemmy questions that are phishing/doxxing expeditions, whether intentional or not. I’ve removed some such posts in the past.

        I am not sure what you are on about… ada just said what they are maintaining, like the Lemmy for example.

        I maintain the latest version of my social security number below:

        Heh yeah OP could add disclaimer to understand your threat model, consider your post history, consider the accounts connected to and used by the slice of internet you’re maintaining, etc. and if it’s too complicated to analyze just be safe and don’t share anything at all (or at least make a throwaway, while still realizing a determined party could try to tie it back to you).

        I could be more worried, though, as anything someone really cares about will likely be innocently self-promoted (mentioned in passing) before long. Doesn’t mean it’ll all be in one place like in this thread, but we are mostly worried about determined malicious losers - I think.

    Used to mod several large subreddits on reddit then they banned me for being one of the last protest holdouts. Now I just mod c/neat on lemmy world and post shit I enjoy.

    My mom started blogging as a hobby when she retired, and over the past 12 years, I’ve been hosting and maintaining her WordPress site. She has written over 1100 posts, focusing on lifestyle, beauty, and various products reviews.

    Her blog has opened many doors for her; she’s been invited to exclusive events, met celebrities, and received tons of free products.

    I’m incredibly proud to support her by managing this part of the “small web” for her. 🥰

    I enjoy photography as a hobby, and uploaded my photos to my deviantArt gallery up untill about a year ago, I had just got my new camera and uploaded some photos to my gallery when I got damn pissed off, it suddenly hit me how damn slow it was, add to that how they have removed features and just made the site worse over time.

    And with my new camera and larger photos it was just the last straw.

    I just wanted to ho back to the mid 2000s internet with simpler web design not wasting my time with countless scripts and tracking crap.

    I just wanted a simple but good looking index page linking to galleries of my photos.

    So I kicked my HTML/CSS skills into high gear, put w3schools in my browser and started coding, it took a few weeks as I was learning as I went, but i got a nice looking index page with some CSS fun stuff, then I started generating photo galleries with digiKam and uploaded it all to an old school web hotel.

    And I got what I wanted, it is basically instantanious loading pages and content, the galleries I use work excellent with arrow keys and you can even swipe back and forth if you are on mobile.

    The index page looks fantastic on desktop, but is a jumbled mess on mobile, I don’t care, it is my page and I am happy with it.

    It is a semi private page, I don’t advertise it, but I have it on my CV to show my hobby.

      Care to share?

      I haven’t been on dA for at least 10 years. I used to upload to Flickr regularly, but now everything I post is on IG and I keep telling myself I will make a photo portfolio someday.

        I should be able to remove my name from the code and upload it to Github.

        Word of caution though, you can only edit the page in by editing the HTML code directly.

    I write a world/setting and host all the notes for it on my own little website. I’m kinda proud of how it is set up: I write things in Obsidian, push changes to a repo, and then a build server picks everything up to turn into a webpage and update the host server. From random thought to website is just a few minutes

      That is so cool. Love Obsidian. What’s your stack exactly?

        Obsidian on my local machine, changes get pushed to GitHub, Jenkins pipeline is triggered, I like to use multibranch pipelines with Jenkinsfiles, ObsidianHTML is called and uses a config file in the repo, scp and ssh to send everything to the host server. The order it moves things is a bit specific to try and reduce downtime: New site gets sent to host server with a temp directory name, old directory is renamed, new directory is renamed to be what the old one was, and then the old one is deleted. Getting the build server to actually have the tools installed for ObsidianHTML was kinda a pita had to do a lot of figuring out which versions of Python were supported where and update a lot of stuff without breaking other parts of the build server relying on older Python versions. My build and host servers are two separate droplets with DigitalOcean. ObsidianHTML isn’t being developed anymore so I’d like to replace it with something I make myself one day but I’m not good at web dev in general let alone programmatically building pages

    I’m a part of a small group of railroad crossing signal enthusiasts who run a site that seeks to document railroad crossing signals and their equipment across the US and elsewhere. The site’s been around since the 90s and was originally made by an enthusiast named Mike Hickok. He sadly passed away in 2011, so we keep the site and forum alive in his memory. The site’s Canada section hadn’t been updated since 2007 until I began documenting signals myself over a year ago, and it now has over 1200 pictures from 53 different crossings that I’ve documented. I’m proud of that, and I hope to get some more soon.

    I’ve massively slowed down and passed the reins to a new admin, but I’ve been documenting and posting the graffiti scene in my city for 12 years. Started on Tumblr, migrated to Facebook and now it’s on Instagram.

      This is almost an accidental case study in what the most popular platform is at any given moment! I wonder which one is next?
