I've been browsing sites, and I've seen plenty of people who eagerly use a laundry list of identifiers for themselves. Broadly speaking, these labels come from communities who create words to understand themselves (ostensibly), and those are things I value. But I say 'ostensibly' because I suspect that the labels which survive -- and the way of thinking that survives with them -- is selected via what works on social media.
I also came across a journal of someone insisting that they are non-political, and then going on a rant that was basically 3 paragraph recitation of the playbook for an anti-(specific minority group) thought. The stuff they were saying was just psychically exhausting and also extremely rage-inducing in the same way that everything algorithmically optimized for engagement is. It's funny because...I directly felt like my emotions were being manipulated as if I had scrolled past a rage video, except this was on a neocities site. It made me feel like even "indie" spaces are basically dominated by soundbites. Even the laundry list of identifiers I supposedly said I better align with is itself just a bunch of soundbites.
There's something weirdly capitalistic about people using online spaces to hyper-specify their own participatory interests. So many websites on neocities are about people announcing the labels of their interests, just in more detail because they're expressed via HTML and not hashtags. It really glows to me of the "I'm a X fan" marketing schema for self-identification created by geek/fandom properties over the past decade and a half. And it's crazy to me how much the marketing of those industries have affected how people conceptualize themselves. Marketable words and their visual counterparts.
It's hard for me to see how independent spaces can exist separately from what is, at this point, trillion dollar global ideology-ontology factories. It's not made better by the fact that any regularities in anything that counts as 'information' can be exploited (like how LLMs use slang like "vibes").
