    What is your problem with WordPress? Isn’t it part of the fediverse and entirely open source?

      The plugin ecosystem is full of freemium garbage. It’s also designed so a functional site basically requires the jetpack plugin, which is a connector to automattic’s proprietary SaaS.

      The codebase is old, like mostly procedural PHP. It’s got a long history of security issues, and is just a pain to work with. And it’s run by a megalomaniac who doesn’t seem to understand what running an open source project is about.

        Interesting. Is there other open source website creator software that is also part of the fediverse?

        I am trying all fedi software and WordPress is last on that list. So I am happy about recommendations

          There’s a bunch of forks of it that are basically the same. Not sure how it works with fediverse stuff.
