Comment

I’m yet to understand why people downvote comments like yours. Your answer was on-topic, provided a reasoning, was well-written… even if I haven’t fully recovered from the trauma of having two wordpress sites hacked, I still think your comment has merit.

That’s was some fanboy of those overly complex but allegedly simple new-age bullshit website compilers (Hugo) where you place a bunch of markdown files in a folder, install 200MB of dependencies to compile the thing into HTML that you can then deploy via a closed solution such as GitHub actions to a closed ecosystem like Cloudflare. The same guy who’ll discover in a few years they won’t be able to “compile” their blogs anymore because some dependency is broken, their SEO is trash, Cloudflare is no longer free, GitHub actions require a subscription etc… you know, our run-of-the-mill piece of shit developer from 2023 so up their asses who don’t understand shit about what their doing and that can’t even be bothered with a simple drag-and-drop to a FTP.

    I wish this were the case. I have to manage multiple Wordpress sites and it’s backend is a sticky mess of outdated PHP conventions and plugins with no oversight whatsoever. If you’ve ever had to migrate sites or move new content from one site to another, if you’ve ever had to shift domains or deal with multi-site configurations, you will realize that Wordpress makes things easy for the end-user but there’s a reason there are so many managed Wordpress offerings out there.

    It’s necessary for the human body and mind.

  If Hugo stops working down the line, you can compile your markdown with something else. Simple is king!

It turns out that people on Lemmy are no better responsibly using a downvote button than anywhere else. I think you should have to at least select a reason why you’re downvoting to add some friction - maybe options something like “I don’t like this”, “I disagree”, “This is factually incorrect”, “Spam”, “Abusive language”, etc. Then you can filter out the first two!
