I didn't realize they were switching over to WordPress to be honest.

[–] [email protected] 71 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Nobody should be switching TO Wordpress in 2025… or 2023 or 2020 even. But definitely not 2025.

Tumblr ha no choice, WordPress bought it years ago

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Technically not WordPress. They were purchased by Automattic, which runs WordPress.com.

While Automattic is among the many companies contributing to the WordPress project, neither it nor WordPress.com are affiliated with the software/project or the WordPress Foundation.

matt's an ass and all, but the service on the .com does have a decent track record afaik.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 6 days ago (1 children)

No longer after the drama of the last few months. Stay as far away from WordPress as is humanly possible.

The service on the .org is great

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Might be, you still shouldn't build new stuff on there. It's under the control of a person going through a mental breakdown and lashing out at everyone instead of getting help.

Nah, its Foss. Anyone can fork it

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

No, it's not that easy. Matt Mullenweg personally owns the plugin repository and has weaponized it by literally stealing paid plugins from their developers as revenge. You'd have to create an alternative repository for your fork to actually have a healthy ecosystem, but the individual developers are financially disincentivized to follow due to Mullenweg. This makes for a very uncertain future for both the project and the ecosystem - and why risk it, when there are better options?

Wtf is a better option?
