The final thought that comes to mind is BuddyPress, a plugin for WordPress sites. A pretty decent option if you already have a WordPress site setup. Source: over 1 year ago

As you're building a community site to allow parents and foster parents to create their own user profiles and potentially interact with each other, buddypress can do a lot of the heavy lifting for you. Source: over 1 year ago

I'd probably be remiss if I didn't also mention buddypress, which some like for creating a social/community space based on WordPress. I much prefer a forum, but you should at least look into buddypress a little. Source: over 1 year ago

Yes you can make the site in Wordpress. Some development work needed for sure. Please check Buddypress https://buddypress.org/ This a free plugin by Automattic. Source: over 1 year ago

My long-term plan: Adding BuddyPress support ( https://buddypress.org/ ) so basically wordpress+quasar social system with groups, forums, private chats etc. Adding WooCommerce support ( https://woocommerce.com/ ) so e-commerce.. Source: over 1 year ago

There's obviously nothing stopping Parler from moving their application to another platform as they've clearly done so. In fact, in software development it's highly encouraged to not have "vendor lock-in". There's also nothing forcing Apple, Google, and Amazon to allow applications in their app store. In the case of Android, at least, the "main" app store isn't the only way to get an application on the platform. Source: over 1 year ago
