I have a slide for work with the title 'Wordpress' and a picture of a 500lb giant sea bass, and it makes sense to me

Adrianna Tan

If Wordpress was a giant sea bass (because it's huge was fun but too big), and Drupal was a blob fish (ugly but can take a lot of pressure), what other fish or marine animals are other content management systems or publishing platforms or social media sites

@skinnylatte decorator crab? sea urchin? i dont fully know what cms is but those are the vibes im getting hahah

@skinnylatte Contentstack is a mudskippeer, shockingly adaptable and able to thrive in many different kinds of extreme environments.

@skinnylatte Hugo is like coral, it will stay exactly how you last saw it, won't interact but allows many simultaneous visitors, unless the server gets too hot and the whole thing crashes.

@skinnylatte #typo3 is a guppy, or rather lots of them. Many cute and round fishes = convenient templates for most of the things you'd like to do but if you wanna attack = really get to work they vanish into something stingy so it's unaccessible for you.

@skinnylatte
Apache is coral.

It's elegant, simple, and lasts forever, but falls to dust if the environment changes too much.

@DopeGhoti nginx is parrotfish.. because it eats coral, and poops it out and becomes white sand??

@skinnylatte Google Blogger is a coelacanth. A living fossil that a lot of people assume went extinct but is still out there just swimming around and not changing for anything, ever.

I had a blog on blogger for years. Then the bots came and took down photos for copyright infringement. Photos that I had taken myself and posted there.

@FranceskaMann @skinnylatte Oh no! Did Google send you notifications? I'm not sure how I'd know if that had happened to me.

I'm trying to figure out what to do. I have a Blogger site stretching back 16 years, with a few hundred posts. Blogger's share buttons have no Mastodon nor Bluesky option, and *do* have Twitter and Facebook and Pinterest which I can't remove.

I'm thinking Hugo, to be able to preserve the existing URLs arbitrarily. I need to spend time looking at alternatives.

@dgentry @FranceskaMann i used to use hugo, but i'm really into 11ty now mostly for the community and ease of use and upkeep

@skinnylatte @dgentry

No notifications. They would just take my photos down. So make sure you keep backups.

@FranceskaMann @skinnylatte Sigh. That is a really craptacular way for Google to handle it.

@skinnylatte @dgentry

yeah, I wasn't logging in frequently. But when I circled back to it and was ready to jump in again I was too disheartened, with the deletions, to keep going.

@skinnylatte I think Neochanna are sweet water fish, but Twitter is of that genus.

Org-mode is a sea sponge. It dissolves, it re-forms, it might not count as a cms/animal, more people make use of a dead byproduct…

@skinnylatte

@skinnylatte contentful : tuna

Because it's perfectly optimized for its purpose: to be fast and effective.

@skinnylatte Jekyll is a sardine. Fast, light, absolutely everywhere. Nobody respects it, and nobody will admit it's all they have a need for.

@skinnylatte

I think of Oracle as a gigantic kraken dragging ships and sailors to the bottom of the sea.

@skinnylatte

Typo3 is a JellyFish:

Don't you dare, even touching it. You will regret it, for sure.

@skinnylatte Substack is a white shark... you should probably be afraid of it, it's not your friend 😬

@skinnylatte Microsoft OneNote is a moray eel colony, defends its turf and holds on tight to its pages in a set of tabs / tunnels.
