 DokuWiki is open source, it can be hosted (including the domain) for less than the price of a weeks groceries. Anyone with half a brain (like myself) can use it. DokuWiki is open source, it can be hosted (including the domain) for less than the price of a weeks groceries.

 The best design is the design that works. I'll use the ugly tool that gets the job done any day and twice on sunday, and that's exactly what has happened here. 90% of the world population can't afford to make a nice looking page, and are then tempted to be online via TikTok, Instagram, or some other unfree petting zoo. It looks slick, but it's dangerous to allow ourselves to slide into the business model of megacorps controlled by evil billionaires. Let's not do that. The best design is the design that works.

 I will accept that this domain looks almost as bad as I dress. It's 'cringe' as my kids tell me. You might want to spend a bit more time to polish your online presence. But please take the point that you definitely don't need to think you can't be online without Meta or Google or the likes. You can, and it's even easier and cheaper, as I'm proving right here. I will accept that this domain looks almost as bad as I dress. It's 'cringe' as my kids tell me.

 I think that's a pretty good reason, and I love to be proven wrong also. I'm super curious to see what will happen with this idea :) I think that's a pretty good reason, and I love to be proven wrong also. I'm super curious to see what will happen with this idea :)
