Anon518 , 5 days ago to Technology in Backdoor slipped into multiple WordPress plugins in ongoing supply-chain attack

you just write in Markdown (the same thing Lemmy uses), pick a theme, and you’re good to go

That is far too basic for most websites. It's absurd to suggest that's a valid alternative for something like Wordpress + Elementor.

Squarespace should be on the table for static websites as well.

How so? It's not static that I'm aware of, unless you're exporting it to a file after using the UI to create it?

I assumed we were talking about direct replacements for WordPress, not hosted alternatives.

Well, as you said, Wordpress does a lot of things. Shopify, Wordpress, Squarespace, etc., are certainly interchangeable/competitors to a large degree. Wordpress has hosted options and is a default/main option for many hosting companies.

You can build a full website with every major function and design option with Wordpress. You can't with Jekyll and Hugo unless you can code.

static site? - Hugo, Jekyll, etc - just generates regular HTML

These are either vastly more limited, or they require you to be able to code.

ecommerce? - consider nopCommerce or OpenCard

I've never heard of these, but I have seen people say that if you want to do ecommerce you should only use Shopify, because even small differences can result in people not purchasing your products.

Ventoy > Rufus and also bypasses them by default.

Forums are still around. People just got lazy and started using reddit instead. Search engines are also to blame since they don't bring up smaller forums in search results. People can go back to forums if they want.

I'm grateful that Stackoverflow is a valid alternative to reddit for many things. Fuck reddit.

Anon518 , 1 month ago to Technology in Stack Overflow Users Are Revolting Against an OpenAI Deal | WIRED

I don't understand why you and others are so mad about this. Stackoverflow is a great resource that takes significant time and money to maintain. I don't have a problem with the maintainers making money by selling access to train AI on the data.

Having Stackoverflow as an alternative to reddit is important so that people aren't stuck using reddit.

Prefer KeepassXC

Why? Keepass has lots of plugins and XC doesn't, right?

Anon518 OP , 5 months ago to New Communities in Watch Reddit Die - sh.itjust.works

be prepared for most of the people to just stick to those two, as they are well established and have large userbases

Also, isn't that against the whole notion of Lemmy? To spread things out and avoid concentration?

Anon518 OP , 5 months ago to New Communities in Watch Reddit Die - sh.itjust.works

Yeah I didn't want to go digging that far back. I wouldn't say they're large. They have a few hundred subscribers while the /r/watchredditdie, etc. subs had more than a hundred thousand and were larger alone than the whole of lemmy.

Anon518 OP , 5 months ago to New Communities in Watch Reddit Die - sh.itjust.works

Isn’t it heavily downvoted?

Nope. The anti-reddit stuff was downvoted and pro-reddit stuff upvoted. I dug back into my profile to find the most recent time it happened to me https://sh.itjust.works/comment/7640949.

Overall I don't find lemmy very anti-reddit at all. There were a bunch of anti-reddit subreddits of pretty large size that reddit basically shut down. All of them were way more anti-reddit than lemmy is. /r/watchredditdie and /r/declineintocensorship for example. I'm hoping to pull some of those people to lemmy by giving them a new home.

Anon518 OP , 5 months ago to New Communities in Watch Reddit Die - sh.itjust.works

As I said, I did actually see some weird pro-reddit stuff there. WatchRedditDie is also a subreddit with a long history. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/24701475.2021.1997179
