How often do you login? What makes it sticky for you?


I stay logged in almost all the time. I wanted some place where I felt like I could blog freely, and one that _felt_ like a blog instead of some ad-ridden mess. It was partially the customisation aspect that drew me in at the beginning, having that much control over my profile (even if it was just basic HTML and CSS with some JS) reminded me of what I loved about being online. I have a personal website and don't really pay much heed to the 'social' aspect of SpaceHey but having a little corner where I can just go and blog/post bulletins about things I'm thinking about, especially because it has a straightforward interface, feels really nice. The lack of ads and algorithms and general 'social media' paradigms of the modern age do a lot to make sure I keep going back.


What's your username (if you don't mind me asking)?


I wanted to get more involved in the community on that site but it seems there's a LOT of teenagers on it


Hey man, I'm getting started on the platform. Mind sharing your username?
