We Built This City!

The land wasn't barren though.
It was inhabited by GOPHERs and TELNETs and FTPs and BBSes.
And MUDs and MOOs

Not all cities start from villages: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underoccupied_developments_in_China
Although a feature of discourse on the Chinese economy and urbanization in China in the 2010s, many developments that were initially criticized as "ghost cities" in China have since become occupied and are now functioning cities.
Some cities are literally just built into the empty space, then wait until people move in. It has worked multiple times in China. Some cities literally went from zero to a million inhabitants in under 20 years.

Some users were recently sent push notifications to highlight a neo-nazi substack that showed a swastika icon
The bit that infuriates me is how Facebook (and others) also do this, and claims that they're too big to police everything. Like, you might not be able to check every single thing that gets posted, but it's definitely not beyond your powers to check everything that your platform actively promotes at people who didn't request it.

Infrastructure is the issue. Got to be able to get to the new city.

What's a good alternative nowadays for someone who isn't super tech savvy and just wants to set up a basic WYSIWYG website?
Seriously, just type in some HTML. It's barely more complicated than the Markdown you're already using for Lemmy, as long as you aren't trying to get fancy with it.

We have always lived in slums and holes in the wall. We will have to accommodate ourselves for a time. For, you must not forget, that we can also build. It is we who built these palaces and cities, here in Spain and in America and everywhere. We, the workers. We can build others to take their place. And better ones. We are not in the least afraid of ruins. We are going to inherit the earth. There is not the slightest doubt about that. The bourgeoisie might blast and ruin its own world before it leaves the stage of history. We carry a new world here, in our hearts. That world is growing in this minute.

Built the city from pure HTML so must be talking about domains as empty lands

I think it’s not as do-it-yourself as wordpress. Basically all the hosting and templates are premade and easy to activate. Though it can be customized I don’t think it has the plug-in ecosystem like WP.

Like WordPress.com (i.e., without the self-hosted option that is WordPress.org), if there was also waaay less ability to customise your blog's theme. It's designed to look and feel much more like a single blog that has many contributors. Maybe think Twitter or Facebook, but using blog posts instead of Tweets and photos as the main medium.
It's also famous for the fact that its owners refuse to ban literal Nazis.
