An update from my perspective, having blogged on WordPress for just under 20 years:
- I turned off the WordPress news widget in my WordPress dashboard, because it is now filled with unhinged posts from the co-founder of WordPress.
- I am still actively looking for a place to move to, away from WordPress. It’s now a question of where I’ll land, not if.
- To that end, I realized I had been consistently mistaking the name of a possible new platform as Blogtastic, when it is, in fact, Blogstatic. I am smart.
- I have backed up everything on this blog, including all one billion images, of which 990 million are cats.
- When you have an entire website (not hosted by WordPress) devoted to every time you have “lied, misrepresented or behaved in a questionable manner”, you may not be charting the best course forward possible.
I expect to make a decision on a platform soon™.
