# [Joe_Crawford] They mean straightforward to administer.
# [Joe_Crawford] WordPress comments work simply out of the box. But if you want just one level of threading, you can have that if you want multiple levels of spreading, you can have that. You can decide what prerequisites to allow before someone comments. If you wanna give people subscriptions to new comments it’s straightforward to add that. There’s an RSS feed for comments.
# [Joe_Crawford] The comment system is so flexible it’s what underpins indieweb webmention display.
# [Joe_Crawford] That’s my guess as to what that particular rant is praising Wordpress about.
# [snarfed] also it sounded like the point was maybe less wordpress specifically and more that traditional blogs/CMSes had local commenting built in that Just Works. static sites got popular for good reasons, but rarely have built in, easily usable local commenting, often they takes extra setup that's difficult and brittle
# [Joe_Crawford] “Comments are a pain in the ass” on a website is the same as “parties of 10 or more people are a pain in the ass for a restaurant.” I mean, sure, yes, these are correct. But depending on the site and the restaurant they might be made to be good problems. But yes, it requires moderation. Everything good does.

# [Joe_Crawford] Everything good with more than one person involved.
# [snarfed] unrelated, [KevinMarks] you got a shout out on the latest vergecast on the history of podcasting! https://www.theverge.com/c/24238422/podcast-etymology-term-history-tech-vergecast , 17:15
# [Joe_Crawford] I think that question of “how many bouncers are needed per 25 customers” is an interesting one. At a bar. In a comments section, at a concert venue.

# [Joe_Crawford] And the world now knows that without moderation, bad things can be made catastrophically worse. I think of Myanmar.

# [KevinMarks] Did the progress bar in huffduff video get broken?
Achylles joined the channel
# [Joe_Crawford] I've used Disqus for that. Add JavaScript. Outsourced.
# [Joe_Crawford] There was a vogue for allowing users to comment with Facebook sign in.
# [snarfed] academic though sadly, I'll probably turn huffduff-video down soon, https://github.com/snarfed/huffduff-video/issues/52

# 
rubenwardy I would personally moderate any comment system on my website, whether it's local comments or somehow remote
# rubenwardy Like I do moderation before comments are even shown

# tanok111 The rules said there is a bridge with Matrix how do I add it to my Element app. I'm new to most of these topics

# 
capjamesg[d] I'm unsure if the Matrix bridge still works?
# [Joe_Crawford] According to https://indieweb.org/discuss -- _https://indieweb.org/Matrix used to be supported until the bridge hosted by http://element.io_ _https://indieweb.org/discuss#Matrix, and there is no known effort to restore it._
# [Joe_Crawford] yeah scojjac, that model of doing conversations via other channels is a common one
# 
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "rules" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "rules is ____", a sentence describing the term)
# 
[tantek] rules is /code-of-conduct
# [tantek] Twitter << https://xcancel.com/ is a service that mimics the Twitter/X URL structure and provides a captcha-d no JS required minimal reading experience of Twitter profiles (e.g. https://xcancel.com/t) and tweet permalinks (click on any datestamps in an xcancel profile view for example).
# Loqi ok, I added "https://xcancel.com/ is a service that mimics the Twitter/X URL structure and provides a captcha-d no JS required minimal reading experience of Twitter profiles (e.g. https://xcancel.com/t) and tweet permalinks (click on any datestamps in an xcancel profile view for example)." to the "See Also" section of /Twitter https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=97709&oldid=97460
