  • I’m glad you’ve found the one place where dictatorial moderation and misuse of mod powers is okay, because you only saw it happen to one person. I’m not sure why you think you have some sort of gotcha point there.

    The mastodon screenshot is all that is needed to prove that this guy was unfit from the start.

    People like this should not receive benefits from the platform they tried to abuse. A simple copy paste of the evidence and information whenever it pops up in my feed is barely any effort.

    Besides the fact I think that linking to the primary source of information is already more important than linking to someone’s post about it.















  • Ah yeah I definitely misunderstood the question of the comment they were replying to. I only brought up CPanel because it’s extremely pervasive and is an example of how easy it is to host WordPress.

    On the flip side, you can upload plugins to install them and the plugins can be coded to use different servers for automatic updates. In fact, the most popular platform to buy paid plugins and themes, Envato, has a plugin to facilitate updates which don’t use the WP.org repo servers.

    Honestly, the plugin repo and “click to update” system is one of the biggest problems with the WP ecosystem. Since the vast majority of plugins and themes are horribly made and run by idiots, it’s very often that updates will break sites outright. That’s why I disable it for client accounts.

    Sorry I came off as rude. It was just a misunderstanding.
