  • It’s not because of word press. Wordpress is complete garbage that should have died ages ago. The reason it hasn’t is because it still makes it easy for people to add a customizable site in a couple of minutes.

    As for php, the php 5 days are long gone. Php has actually become a good a respectable language since the release of php 7, and things only continue to improve. Php is at version 8.1 and progress is not slowing down. There is even a dedicated full time dev team for php now. PHP is definitely not going anywhere any time soon and I’m more than comfortable with starting new projects using PHP. It happens all the time, especially with support from extremely good and well established frameworks like Laravel.

    Honestly if you’re starting a new project today, what would be a joke is to start it in node.



  • I agree that this kind of content is disgusting. So the policy should be that it’s not allowed on this instance. It’s perfectly reasonable for you to not want this content directly on your server.

    But, I don’t agree with defederation. I joined a general instance to be able to go wherever I want. It should be left up to me what content I don’t wish to see and simply block those communities myself. If you start deciding for me what I’m allowed to see or not see then I’ll leave to a different instance. Today it’s the obvious “no loli or child porn or w\e” and everyone hops on board because it’s easy to just not be a pedophile. But that opens the door to defederation in general. Tomorrow it could be something else.

    Do what you will but make sure to state it publicly so I can know whether or not I should bother sticking around with this instance.
