davidbisset, 4 months ago to webdev Not the first time I've seen people ditch or thinking of leaving Slack and similar tech for... just plain Web 1.0 forums. https://posthog.com/blog/slack-closure Slack and others do keep great content hard to find or out of reach unless the owner pays. Could 2024 or 2025 have a slight uptick in just old fashion forums? the #bbPress part of me that has been asleep for a while would welcome it. #webdev

SirTapTap, 7 months ago to wordpress Who's for a #wordpress site and a #forum? There is #BBPress but it seems...less forumy? Than I expected. I Dunno. I'd like to include some form of forum on sirtaptap.com in the most natural and least I-Have-To-Do-Work way possible https://bbpress.org/

SirTapTap, 9 months ago to wordpress Hadn't thought about this, enabled Buddypress & bbPress on sirtaptap.com as a test and just now noticed I got about 500 spam registrations. Usually akismet/cloudflare keeps spam low and deletes stuff but I guess for users they don't apply. Not too much bad a spam user can do on my site, but I went and deleted 'em and added a Cloudflare managed challenge. Any advice from people using social features on Wordpress? I'm looking at adding forums #wordpress #security #spam #bbpress #buddypress
