Calling me a grammar Nazi is not necessary.
I was merely voicing my frustration with the title that lacked information and I felt I had to go into the article to find.
I wasn’t berating anyone in particular, like you are trying to do to me right now.
They could have just not responded with an asshole comment. They could have not done anything and ignored me.
What did they do instead? Lash out at me like I was making a personal attack.
That’s not very “adult” behavior.
I made one comment because the title was lacking a key piece of information which was frustrating, and provided an explanation on why it was frustrating.
They responded with a childish and asshole response, which breaks the rules by the way. I’m not sure how that makes them “the adult in the room”.
They deleted my comments that broke no rules and the reason for it was “annoying”. Not to mention they broke the rules themselves by being an asshole. That’s far from “unfounded”. At best, you can disagree.
Deleted comment:
The owner of this gamingonlinux site used to be a mod on this Lemmy community until they got caught abusing mod powers because they didn’t realize mod actions were public. They deleted their account and complained about the public moderation aspect on Lemmy on their mastodon account.
Can we just not link to that site here?
Over the past 4 years WordPress usage has grown from 35% to 43.4% ~ [W3 Techs](https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/cm-wordpress](https://w3techs.com/technologies/history_overview/content_management/all/y)
As much as I hate so much about WordPress, yes it is the most used CMS. Period. Your comment is just ignorant.
Congrats. You made the argument that popular == good.
WooCommerce also has an extensive extension list, integrations with all the payment providers out there and it’s easy to get help / support be it free or payed
This is WordPress’ biggest selling point, but it is also its biggest downfall. The vast majority of those “extensions” (plugins) are horribly made and are security nightmares, then they often only get you 90% of what you need so they can sell you the last 10% for a subscription fee. How would you know how to determine which ones are good or not? You need to be experienced enough with WordPress.
Yes, it is easy to get support, particularly paid (not “payed” FYI) but again, since WordPress is so popular, it’s prime real-estate for shitty “”“WordPress Developers”“” (not actually developers) to essentially bait people into their scam of pretending they are actually developers and providing work that leaves you worse off.
How do I know all of this? Well I happen to work with WordPress professionally as the lead developer for an agency where I manage literally hundreds of WordPress sites and host all of them myself on servers I manage for them (not shared hosting reselling).
Definitely not Woocommerce. WordPress’s data structure is not properly suited for an e-commerce site, and it’s a resource hog.

Would be smart to include a quick description of what Bazzite even is.

Are you just naturally this much of an asshole, or do you have to work at it?
I already explained that it’s perfectly common for things to seem similar or identical when they are far more different than they seem. Humans often find patterns when there are none.
And I also already explained I looked at the DDG site and I didn’t happen to find that page. I did find articles on other sites mentioning that they source from Bing, but didn’t really mention to what extent.
So, yes. You are absolutely being a dick by assuming I did none of that and acting the way you are. I literally only was asking for more information and explaining why.
You also left out this large piece of context which definitely makes it less straightforward that “all their results are identical enough to make them the same” as you claim
We also maintain our own crawler (DuckDuckBot) and many indexes to support our results. Of course, we have more traditional links and images in our search results too, which we largely source from Bing.
I literally did that and I was not convinced, nor do I think that is good enough evidence. I did not find anything on their site about how much of their results are from Bing.
There’s no need to be such as asshole. Why the shit would I take your word when you’re needlessly being such a dick because I simply am asking for more information? Jesus fuck.
I’m going to need more than “they look similar”. I don’t think it’s a smart thing to trust random people on the internet based off their word alone.
Lots of things could seem similar when they are still very different.
So, it uses Bing to some extent, I’ll take that. But it’s not entirely Bing.
Even if a large part of DDG relies on Bing doesn’t mean they are the same. That’s an oversimplification at least.
Please explain
Nice. Downvoted for asking for more information.
It’s not about being “butt hurt” it’s about consequences for abusive behaviors. I don’t think people who abuse their moderation powers and status should be rewarded with free advertisement on the place they committed their abuse.
I think that this community needs to change its displayed rules, since it seems that it does not apply to the moderators:
