This is an issue for us normal users, though. There is no way of knowing if these people are connected to any bad behavior because they are deleted so quickly. We don't know if they are posting elsewhere or committing vote manipulation. At best, the seemingly few people who happen to be aware of these burner accounts would have to then also happen to stumble upon a bad comment made by a brand new account that is then deleted.
Basically, if this is the only option, then that guarantees that they will continue to get away with any hidden behaviors. Whoever this is has already proven that they are willing to create an account to write rude and accusatory responses to someone who merely points out the burner accounts. Considering how low of a bar that is for such a negative reaction, that establishes their character. I likely would not have looked into this at all if it wasn't for this weird toxic reaction.
Additionally, the sole mod of !comicstrips@lemmy.world seems to be unreliable. When I was looking into why people from lemmy.blajaj.zone could not see the community, I saw a handful of people bring up how slow they are to take any action, if they take any at all. Not to mention they were banned from lemmy.blahaj.zone for refusing to take down a comic that is known for racist, sexist, and transphobic comics as well as straight-up nazi references. An example of their lack of action, the rude comment from this person/group has not been removed. The upvotes on that comment are also suspicious in that it could be them employing vote manipulation.
Moreso, the main concern is not even really that particular community. The concern is what this person/group may be hiding elsewhere behind this behavior. So relying on the moderator of this one community for an issue that could be more widespread.
I'm just asking to look into this a bit more than just waiting for something to pop up, because it's highly unlikely to be noticed entirely because of this weird burner account behavior.
I'm not sure why people prefer their images like this, but they clearly do since this is how the majority of images are shared. I'll help y'all out and make the image what you seem to want it to be in the end
What privacy would be gained from this? If the goal is to only post comics, there would be no benefit from creating many burner accounts over a single account used only for posting the comics and no other kinds of interaction.
WordPress core is not particularly 'sketchy', it just gets tricky when you start adding plugins. There's no vetting on the quality of plugins available on the WordPress.org repo, and even less in places like Envato. The vast majority of plugins and themes are pure shit because they are made by companies trying to take advantage of the people who don't know any better and their goal is to make them as appealing as possible rather than making a quality product and letting that be the appeal.
WordPress is fine if you want a blog and don't mind the more out-of-the-box experience they provide, with the exception of a few plugins that have proven their quality over time. Though, as a new user how do they know what plugins are good? You don't. There's tons of info out there for WordPress, but again the vast majority is catered towards people who just want a quick solution and can be taken advantage of to be sold a product.
I think you'll be fine starting off with a basic WordPress blog while you try and test out other options to see how they stack up and how they work for you. Just be very careful about which plugins or themes you install. You can use Roots/Bedrock to help secure the site and make it work a bit closer to a modern platform since you manage it with Composer. Or you can use ClassicPress if you don't want Gutenberg shoved down your throat.
Other options would be 11ty, Hugo, or a Nextjs based site.
There is a tag that shows that a comment has been edited and it shows the time of the last edit. There's a little pencil icon next to comment's time that shows both creation time and last edited time. You can see that icon on this comment.
Woooow. I forgot about this one. Thanks for bringing up the memory. Classic joke.
