I would like to see more Christian websites that shoot for a historical, literary, or academic vibe and use classical elevated language. Take me back to Lindisfarne Priory to look at texts by candle light or something. But more Christian websites seem to be going for... "memelord hackerman quit using 4chan because I found God" thing. I get that practically that's a very useful avenue. But just how I think sometimes.

I definitely get that. Although I do sometimes struggle with the very difficult to read fonts people go for
For sure I think you have to use careful discretion to pick something between a realistic font from the middle ages, especially the type of stuff they used before the time of Charlemagne lol, and something people can actually read.
Your comment inspired me and I have just worked out how to change my font to something a little more aesthetic
There's so much irony poisoning on the internet. I'd like to write a post about that one day.
I am not a big fan either, but I seem to have fallen into the corner of the internet where this is less so! I am a big mediaevalist, and I try to capture a bit more of an older atmosphere on my website, but I am limited by my technical skills to execute what I have in mind. I try to be sincere and unbothered in a world where all things must be buried in irony lest it be seen as "cringe", but it's difficult at times.
I admit that I have a very absurdist insincere side myself. I think the best way to deal with it if you have that problem is to carve yourself a place out where you don't do it. Then you can retreat back into if you need to but your "sacred" space wont be contaminated.
