Safe WordPress or NextJS/React alternatives?

Hey comrades,

I'm mostly familiar with WordPress and esp NextJS for web development and so far only for smaller private projects. Because of React's ties to Meta I'm quite sceptical if it'd be wise and safe to use it for more political content. What would yous recommend? Or are they fine to use?

Cheers

They’re all open source; I see no issue.

Sweet, thanks. Any recs for hosting? I've mostly used vercel and github so far for NextJS projects and a variety for WordPress. The cloudbased CMS are comfortable as hell to set up, but I can't imagine they'd be slim and secure enough for a political project?

Whats The use case here? Does it have to be dynamic? An static site is a lot easier to protect and get online

Should be somewhat dynamic. At least some basic blogging functionality would be needed. Adding posts, categories, etc. Nothing fancy, no user management etc

I like hugo for this kind of blog, you just edit .md files that will be your blog posts and commit.

Sounds interesting, thanks! I'll look into it. Is it possible to integrate it with React?

I've been trying to accomplish something similar with NextJS + TinaCMS. The CMS effectively just commits .md files there too, NextJS handles the routing. It works quite well with Vercel, I just (maybe unjustly) feel somewhat uncomfortable with that degree of cloud-integration and cross-dependencies in a political project.

I think yes, but I will look into it tomorrow.
