Facebookification should be a term. I think every platform that tries to grow at any cost will attract a certain audience that will ultimately make the platform less desirable. Like those spamming pins in facebook comments to get updates on the post instead of turning on updates in a context menu.
Feddit.de ist im Vergleich aber auch deutlich langsamer und es gab ja immer wieder mal Probleme. Da bin ich gerne schnell abgehauen.
Das einzige was schade ist, ist dass ich auf feddit.de Zeit investiert habe kleine Communities aufzubauen. Finds etwas schade die zu killen und neu aufzubauen, aber anders geht es wohl nicht :/
My town has one of the oldest underground wine cellars in Europe with some bottles up to 300 years old. I talked to somebody maintaining the wine cellar and part of the cork replacement procedure that happens about every 50 years is to taste the wine - just a drop though. Apparently it's pretty awful. His colleague said "You have to taste your way up to one of these!" which sounds like bullshit to me. I bet it doesn't get better after 1700 more years.
Ich mag den Mittelweg hier ganz gerne. Mit Proton kann ich unendlich viele Aliase verwenden und die benutzen solange ich mag. Falls irgendwann Spam auf eine Adresse geht, kann ich sie deaktivieren.
Towards whatever Communityplanners on meth that did this: Fix this shit!
The city planner: „What do you mean? This intersection is just fine. I drive my car through it every day.“
Coding is pretty much the only way to make a site that is both flexible and fast. If you wanna stay with page builders, I'd recommend something like webflow or framer but going with these closed systems is really not that amazing longterm. You're gonna sink a lot of money into a system that will almost certainly enshittify in the future.
If you're willing to pick up coding, try to make your own theme with something like Advanced Custom Fields in wordpress or switch to something like Kirby CMS which is more flexible out of the box than wordpress and has great docs.
I agree. I don't hate wordpress. It seems a bit dated by today's standards and bloated in some aspects but you can definitely make a solid, fast website with it. It's getting a bad reputation for its toxic plugin dev scene and crappy sites built using Elementor.
oh boy, the average wordpress site has like 30 plugins and the top bar is getting cluttered with so many plugin upsells that it fills the whole screen. There's a huge industry of people making wordpress sites who shouldn't.
It's quite frustrating to be asked as a dev to "fix" people's site as my usual response is "shut it off and redo it well".
