Mastodon and Meta’s Threads in a common social media “fediverse” – impressive!

how to prevent WordPress blog SPAM?
As long as I blogged with Blogger.com, blog SPAM never was a serious issue. Now with my self-hosted WordPress blog(s), that became a very serious issue all of a sudden. Yes, I should just not worry, and just reserve a small weekly (or maybe daily) time-window for moderating the comments – yes, I enforced strict moderation anyway. But I find the moderation requests through e-mail rather destracting. Right now, when I expressed this, I wondered, whether I can prevent these e-mail messages. And yes, I can. I browsed for the available settings within “Discussion Settings”, and “E-mail me whenever” looked appropriate; I unset all of the options listed there. What a relief!
Yes, I did not have this kind of SPAM with Blogger.com, because I only accepted comments from some kind of registered users. And there is no obvious way, how to do this easily with my self-hosted WordPress site. I certainly don’t want to enforce and allow registration on my WordPress site. I think, a while ago “OpenID” was considered sort of good for this kind of matter. Maybe during my further future WordPress studies I shall find out, what to do.

where does all the SPAM comments on my new self-hosted WordPress blog come from?
My last blog (in English) powered by blogger.com never attracted as much SPAM comments, as my new self-hosted WordPress blog has done within just the last couple of days. I wonder, how the spammers get attracted. Is my blog on a list at WordPress.org?
Well, it’s actually not that terrible, because comments on my blog articles only make it to the blog through moderation, but still – I keep getting quite a few moderation request e-mails that way.

WordPress: Categories vs Tags / continued
Today I sorted the categories of my blog articles by lowest occurences, then I cut&pasted a lot of these categories and added them as tags. I still have far to many categories, but it’s getting better.

WordPress vs Blogger: posting an article on the fly
When adding an article on the fly with Blogger.com I always missed being able
- to add a category
- and also to manipulate the posting date+time.
With WordPress’s Press_This I can at least add categories (and tags).
Alright Quick Edit is not as far away as well. But I would really like to be able to also assign a posting date+time to the new article, that is far outside office hours. We always post article only far outside office hours, don’t we?!!
