    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.

      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!

            I wish this were the case. I have to manage multiple Wordpress sites and its backend is a sticky mess of outdated PHP conventions and plugins with very little standardization and even less thorough verification. 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.

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