I know they allow scam adverts because it’s easy money, but why aren’t they held responsible for facilitating obvious scams? You open Edge, there’s 3 “Earn money quick” adverts. On Instagram, every 5 ads, one is a scam.

    Easiest? I’d say WordPress on a Digital Ocean droplet if you’re going super small. Allow people to sign up and vet them, and you have a functional standalone platform pretty much as soon as you can get users. I don’t know that it would take off or have a sustainable userbase though

      It’s mostly for my own education and a couple of friends if they want to play around on it. It’s not meant to be some big project. I didn’t know WP could handle that I’ll check it out!

        Well, I’ll admit it might be poorly suited, but I know it supports comments, posts, and user signups. Users would sign up with a sbscriber role, you’d verify them somehow, and then you’d update their role. It would be a little janky but should work with little adjustment

          Sounds perfect. My ideal situation is I start with the most bare-bones, easiest to do version. Then as I learn what I really want, find other things that allow what I want to do, and slowly teach myself. It’s basically how I’ve learned to do anything lol
