I’m the maintainer of the CSS Naked Day module for Backdrop CMS. Based on how my personal site is currently rendering (correctly without CSS), it looks like it’s working today! #BackdropCMS #CSSNakedDay https://backdropcms.org/project/naked

@BKaernel in fact, I totally switched to #BackdropCMS - it's a much better fit for my sort of projects. And still flexible enough for a lot more than "just" simple Websites.

@elfin have you heard of the term "Drupalism" - this seems to be one. 😁

In fact, you can turn that just off, but then you need a theme, that shows both, frontend pages and admin pages in a pretty way. Not all themes do in #BackdropCMS. Didn't look at Drupal in a while.

A "lightweight" alternative is to turn off using the admin theme for content creation. In fact, I always turn that off on my sites for better user experience. 😉 That setting can be found on /admin/appearance (both CMSes).

After seeing this post: https://fosstodon.org/@stpaultim/116139177428920542 I discovered #backdropcms.

I looked at #drupal a while ago when #wordpress (enjoy hashtags?) was looking like it was going downhill but it seemed odd, and I couldn't say why.

I hadn't heard of this one before, though it seems like it's been around for a while and has a good community around it.

Bonus! I found it in my #yunohost server so going to take it for a spin.

@blogdiva can't say anything about the other CMS, but...
"#BackdropCMS should do" sounds a bit odd to me. If you want a feature, create it.
Backdrop is an #OpenSource web CMS. No platform or company, it's software built and maintained by a community. So, Backdrop - as software - doesn't "do"... 😆

No ActivityPub implementation, but a module to publish to Mastondon, hence the Fediverse, by writing blog posts exists: https://backdropcms.org/project/mastotoot 😉

“Open Web”

it is not lost on me that the VC-backed #Drupal leadership jumped on the #AIslop bandwagon with this REDUNDANT DrupalCMS conceit; but nary a peep about what would make sense for the project: turn Drupal into an #ActivityPub framework for building different #fediverse webapps.

Drupal isn't the open-source mess Wordpress became; but it’s been a thing to watch how the capitalists set the priorities.

#BackdropCMS should do what Drupal won't: become a framework for AP webapps.

#Drupal (qui est basé sur @symfony) c'est super mais ce n'est pas forcement adapté pour des petits projets. J'ai découvert cette alternative @backdropcms. C'est la même chose que Drupal mais en plus simple. Mon prochain site, je pense à le faire avec... Avis aux amateurs ! #cms #webdev #backdropcms #symfony

#Substack users: are you ever worried about being deplatformed? Here I'm thinking of Substack temporarily or permanently shutting down your account because of government pressure.

I'm still using my same old #WordPress and #BackdropCMS blogs because I worry that using someone else's service could cause me to lose my platform, content, list of subscribers and other important info.

Ever wanted to know, when and where the #BackdropCMS community meets?

Backdrop CMS 1.32.0 Released — New Features, UX Enhancements, and Performance Boosts. #backdropCMS
https://backdropcms.org/news/backdrop-1320-released

There being Backdrop CMS versions 1.31.2 and 1.32.1 simultaneously feels like an Amélie “Bretodeau”/“Bredoteau” situation. #BackdropCMS

I should have mentioned this sooner, but BackdropCMS.org has a new front page design. It's a nice upgrade from our old site. Let us know what you think. #backdropcms #Drupal #OpenSourceCMS

A new release of the Aggregator module is out! The sole proprietor of this account warmly thanks the contributors of the bug fixes from the community. #BackdropCMS https://backdropcms.org/project/aggregator

The initial release of CSS Naked Day for Backdrop is out. It relies on a third-party JavaScript library, which is fairly dated, and the hope is to dit the effectively the same thing just using Backdrop. #CSSNakedDay #BackdropCMS https://backdropcms.org/project/naked

Just checking to see if we’re allowed to talk about Backdrop here. The sole proprietor of this account made two contributed module releases today, and is hoping to promote them a little bit. #BackdropCMS

#backdropcms Frage an die deutschsprachige Community: Wie kann man in Backdrop eine Anzeige der "am meisten populären / gelesenen" Seiten / Blogeinträge hinbekommen? Das "statistics - Modul" von Drupal scheint es ja dort nicht zu geben?
Danke für Hinweise!

Thanks to everyone for another successful #Midcamp. I am quite honored to have been at every in-person Midcamp since the first in 2014 (9 in total). It's been fun to watch this event evolve and contribute as I have been able. Already looking forward to next year. #Drupal #BackdropCMS

Got to play an hour of Whirly Ball (bumper car basketball) with friends here in Chicago tonight during the #Timberwolves disaster. It definitely reduced the sting a bit. #Midcamp #Drupal #BackdropCMS

Dries is here at #midcamp giving a Fireside chat. #Drupal #BackdropCMS A lot of talk about the "Maker/Taker" problem and sustainability.

Today I launched my first #backdrop #backdropCMS site, as #CiviCRM migration strategy away from Drupal 7 for a site that used a lot of drupalisms.

Today there's a security update for Backdrop, so I learnt also how to do that!

I'm excited to be participating in @fldrupalcamp later this month. Lots of great sessions!

I'll be leading one called "Back(drop) to the Future" to outline some of the reasons that make #Backdrop a great choice for certain types of projects.

@furicle I would love to give you a personal tour of BackdropCMS and get your feedback on how it compares to #WordPress and whether or not it's a good alternative.

Note: it is a fork of #Drupal7 that is focused on the user experience.

CKEditor 5 is new in the most recent version of Backdrop CMS. At our last virtual user group meeting, we had a demostration of what is new in CKEditor 5 and how to manage the upgrade. It was VERY informative.

We also has a short 10 minute demo of the TinyMCE text editor module for Backdrop CMS.

The entire event was recorded and we highly recommend watching.
