From the Neocities about page:

Neocities is bringing back the fun, creativity and independence that made the web great.

We are tired of living in an online world where people are isolated from each other on boring, generic social networks that don’t let us truly express ourselves. It’s time we took back our personalities from these sterilized, lifeless, monetized, data mined, monitored addiction machines and let our creativity flourish again.

That’s where Neocities comes in. We provide a canvas for people to make any web site they want. Whether it be a web site about something they’re good at, something they love, something they hate, or their own completely customized profile where they can introduce themselves in a way that actually matters to them.
