I don’t think they should be required to use all of the networks, just the open ones, i.e. no account registration required, easily accessible

Scaled is really good on lemmy for my taste at least

Here‘s my quick list:

• Kirby CMS - really good flat file CMS
• Laravel with Filament - really good for more advanced projects

Other people seem to prefer Craft CMS, Ghost or Statamic. There are lots of free or paid alternatives to WordPress that are already better in most regards.

Im a web dev and I build almost all of my sites without cookie banner unless they’re really required (YouTube embeds, invasive tracking etc) and when I don’t include a banner, people usually think I forgot it.

It’s a shame that most people think the internet just has to be crap now and every site needs some dark pattern banner to track its users.
