#BOYCOTT WIX

[rainbowchewynuggets]

I LEFT WIX

My website is currently down! For a long time!

Because I finally walked out on Wix as boycott in support of Palestine. I'm not walking out because I recently found out it's an Israeli company--it's because they are actively supporting cowardly anti-Palestinian narratives and pushing their little "Stand with Israel" widgets.

If you use Wix, I highly encourage you to check out other site builders. Here are a few suggestions. Wix has really sucked anyway, especially considering that they're about to implement a 300%+ price hike in February. If you were ever on the fence, now is an excellent time to get out.

the biggest grifters are DeviantART users who preach for a free Palestine but then they also pay for core membership

they do realize that DeviantART is run by zionists, right?

Boycott Israeli software and online tools.

Turns out some known sites like Wix and Fiverr are actually Zionist brands. I have an account on Fiverr so I won't use it anymore.

Go to BuyIsraeliTech.com, know the list and boycott them all.

Fuck You, Deviantart.

I'm not wishing a happy birthday to a site that supports genocide. (Not directed here.)

I hate to do this, but Counter Clockwise is going on hiatus for a while as I recreate the website on a new platform (probably Bluehost). I've recently found out that Wix is an Israeli company, and I'm horrified and disgusted to have used their service to host my webcomic.

Thanks for reading, and I'll post an update when the new site is up!

THE FUTURE OF THE NOSTALGIAMARE FLASH SHOP WEBSITE

Before I begin I want to quickly apologise for my ignorance. I have continuously utilised a website that from what I found online has recently exhibited abhorrent behaviour regarding recent violence that their country's government has actively participated and has even been the main oppressors and perpetrators in. It was very ignorant, hypocritical and ridiculous of me and I deeply apologise for my unawareness and for turning my back from this information. This post will be made to fix my mistakes as well as to inform others so they won't make or continue to make the same mistake I did.

For those who are currently unaware, Wix is an Israeli-owned company that has repeatedly shown zionist behaviour. During the Palestinian genocide (Which Israel's government are the main colonisers and destroyers as they continue destroying and displacing Palestinians as well as massacring and torturing the entire native population by the thousands), Wix has continuously shown support for Israel and has been extremely ignorant of their country's actions, to the point where they will spread pro-Israel content and fire their own employees . That's not just ignorant behaviour. That is behaviour that ENCOURAGES this ongoing mass slaughter and genocide against innocent Palestinians.

According to the BDS, a Palestinian-owned social-justice organisation that have continuously reported and documented companies, subsidiaries and corporations that are Zionist/Pro-Israel/Pro-Genocide, Wix is on the list of companies to boycott as stated by their actions above.

After hearing of this behaviour and endorsement of Israel, I no longer feel comfortable using Wix to provide archives of once obscure and lost kid-friendly adobe/java content to users who cherish nostalgia and fun online. As a result, the Nostalgiamare Flash Shop Website will no longer be operated with Wix. I refuse to continue using a website that is openly advocating for genocide and ethnic cleansing.

So where do we go from here? What WILL happen to the website? Well one thing for certain is that it is NOT ceasing progress and will NOT be abandoned. I'll still continue work on the site as well as providing nostalgic content to users online. However, it will be moved to another site, which may take a while. Mainly because I need to figure out which website is the easiest and most accessible to use, alongside moving EVERY SINGLE PAGE AND ARCHIVE onto it. Once all of that is taken care of, I will make a new thread which will be from then on the main thread to document and report new updates on the website. After it is posted, the original will be deleted.

To find out more about Wix and what resources to use instead to successfully boycott the website, this link will provide the information necessary.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post and expect more updates to come from the new website. Rest assured it is not going anywhere! Happy holidays everyone and I'll see you next week!

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!

as we are denouncing israel products, hope magazines and writers boycott wix which is an israeli company. there are many paid and/or free alternatives for hosting websites and portfolios. art, that is a revolution in its nature, should not be benefitting apartheid.

[wildfairies]

I'm sorry to sending this ask to you, but I don't know where else to say it, my blog has like negative number of followers and no one will hear me there, and I remember you reblogging that post about curseforge supporting israeli army? You know the Wix site some simmers upload their cc to? It's an israeli company with hq in tel aviv, listed in usa. Maybe some people would want to stop using it if they knew.

thank you for bringing this up again anon, i was wondering yesterday if some missed that anti-curseforge post... wix is also on the BDS list of companies to boycott for supporting Israel, but i haven't seen much discussion of its role in our community specifically.

DON'T USE CURSEFORGE

DON'T USE WIX

Wix asked their employees to create pro-Israel content and fired an employee for condemning Israel

Wix offers "Stand With Israel" website badges

Wix is Israel's most valuable company

Wix employees have been called up to reserve service in the IDF

[stephpotterart]

Annnnd I forgot that WIX is an Israeli company, so no they will not be getting that money from me.

Oh my god. No, I am not paying $344 USD to renew my website if I can avoid that heavy a charge.

[aspharah]

what, and i CANNOT stress this enough, the FUCK is happening in america right now.

[idlewarning]

just wanted to make an announcement that if anyone currently uses wix but wants to boycott it (which you should), I'd be 100% willing to code you your own website for e.g. neocities. I'm not a professional yet, but I have made more than a few websites in my time (current ones are listed here if you want to get a feel for it).

Just give me a screenshot of a receipt (personal info blurred out ofc) for a $20+ donation to any Palestinian liberation charity and I'll start working on it for you. DMs should be open, but shoot me an ask if not.

🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸

With desperately wanting to part from Wix as my portfolio host and with almost every other website builder nauseatingly corporate, does anyone have any good portfolio building website recommendations?

Or alternatively, I would appreciate any guides on coding a website/implementing templates on neocities, though that would be the much slower option. Edit: For clarification, I'm using Wix's free website plan.

[ravenatural]

anybody know any art portfolio alternatives to wix that are comparable in terms of what it allows under a free plan, and are user friendly? I’ve already tried carrd, but what I could do with it was severely limited for my purposes
