I run Bear Blog (https://bearblog.dev https://bearblog.dev) which is a privacy-centric, minimalist blogging platform.
It's been running for over 4 years with about 10k active blogs. I'm the sole founder and maintainer. I write about it at https://herman.bearblog.dev https://herman.bearblog.dev
It pays me an above average salary and is mostly unaffected by the recent financial trends. I have however been dealing with a lot more AI generated backlink spam since ChatGPT hit the internet.

- yyyyddmm 4y agoHi, first of all congratulations, it is a service I love and I follow some of the blogs hosted by you. I've always thought about wanting to start a mini blogging platform similar to yours but I've always been stopped by this: how do you moderate the content? if someone posts something illegal, how does it work? if illicit messages or photos are posted, of whatever form, isn't it a big deal to get out and let the police know it's not your fault? is a simple disclaimer of reponsibility enough? thank you very much!
