Once suspended, yobretyo will not be able to comment or publish posts until their suspension is removed.
Once unsuspended, yobretyo will be able to comment and publish posts again.
Once unpublished, all posts by yobretyo will become hidden and only accessible to themselves.
If yobretyo is not suspended, they can still re-publish their posts from their dashboard.

Rather than thinking about whether the tech framework is too much (perhaps in terms of set up required and thus the knowledge required) - think about the use case that you are trying to address.
Sometimes even simple vanilla JS gets a job done if you want a very simple static website. You wouldn't even need external library scripts.
I was about to comment on this. You don't need a specific library for every project you are working on. Sometimes plain HTML, CSS & JavaScript are enough to achieve your goal.
Thank you, I get stuck with vanilla JS because it’s always taught by “concepts” that are ended by a “console.log” and arnt truly used. JS has been tough for me
That means you shouldn't be using libraries in the first place. Indeed that for the most part if you watch a tutorial, JS is explained by concepts, but those concepts are the ones you need to grasp before actually using a library or framework.
If you are struggling with JS I'd highly recommend sticking to the basics. Learn concepts about programming and the language before jumping into projects. (And go through books like this instead of just sticking to crash courses on YouTube.
PS: What are you trying to build?
In which way is React too much?
If you just want a super simple UI, then jQuery + Bootstrap could do the trick.
yup jQuery would have been my pick too!
I use one of bootswatch themes too to get the tempo going bootswatch.com/
LOL, one does not simply put out a fire, with another fire! In other words, you don't need to swap one stack for the other. It just doesn't work that way. Maybe you can elaborate some more on this question? 🤔
Vanilla JS is more than enough and efficient to create any website interaction, from the simplest button click to the heaviest canvas image manipulation code.
Also, to simplify your html/css process, you can use Desech Studio to visually create your html/css or even import from figma, sketch, adobexd. Then you can integrate it with react, angular, vue, or keep at vanilla js.
